Referees must attend in person, be in attendance for the entire meeting, and cannot send a parent, child/teen, sibling, relative, friend, neighbor, or another referee as a substitute for these meetings. All referees need to acquire 5 hours of in-service training as part of their on-going training during each soccer season, and also for completing the requirements for their annual recertification examinations. There are NO MAKE-UP SESSIONS for these in-service training meetings, unless inclement weather or meeting location becomes unavailable.
Since these SYA Referees’ Business and In-Service Training Meetings are announced and posted several months in advance to each referee, we ask everyone’s cooperation in posting now these important dates for SYA Soccer Referee Meetings on yours and your family’s calendars to avoid scheduling conflicts.
