Rush Union Referee Junior Program

FREE AND OPEN TO 
ALL 2012, 2011, 2010 PLAYERS!

Rush Union in Dunwoody is excited to be hosting its first Referee Junior Program class!   This program is to open all of 2012, 2011 and 2010 players. The purpose of this course is to introduce refereeing to players, go over the basic rules and prepare them to referee recreational games in our U8 and U10 recreation division. 

The course will be held on  Wednesday, September 7th for both locations.  There is no fee to participate. 

• Dunwoody 6-7pm via Zoom  -  Dunwoody Players Register HERE 
• Milton 7-8pm at the Pavilion  -  Milton Players Register HERE

As many of you know, the minimum age to be certified to become a new referee is 13. Certification is required for any US Youth or US Club sanctioned games (SSCL, ENCL, etc.). However, individual organizations can determine the qualifications necessary to officiate recreational games. This course will NOT officially certify them for those sanctioned games, but will allow them to referee recreational games. Our goal is to provide them with the opportunity to get their feet wet and determine if they like refereeing, prior to going through the official certification process.
 
Refereeing is not only a way for our players to earn money, but it will also help our Junior Refs gain a different perspective of the game. Rush Union’s staff and coaches will make sure this is a positive experience for anyone taking the course and refereeing in our recreation program.
