| Washington Special Olympics need your help! Our state soccer tournament is 18 – 19 June at Pacific Lutheran University near Tacoma. We have 8 fields going each hour all day Saturday and Sunday so plenty of opportunities. I need referees to step and volunteer for the whole weekend, one day, or even half a day. No pay but we will reimburse your travel to and from PLU. These will be the best games you do all year! Plenty of hugs, smiles, high fives and seeing the sheer joy of playing the beautiful game. So if you are new to officiating and want some whistle time or an experienced referee and want to give back to the community, these are perfect for you. If interested email Cal.Lovering@comcast.net or call 253-686-0570. |

|  New Referee Clinics:
Become a Soccer Referee
Referees make between $35.00 to $65.76 as a Referee and $23.00 to $49.32 as an Assistant Referee. Kids have been able to easily make between $3,500 - $5,500 a year.
Refereeing is a great way for kids and adults to make money and there are games available to officiate year around. Referees select the matches they can officiate from website scheduling systems and set their own work schedule. By becoming a referee now, referees will be able to officiate summer tournaments and be ready for the fall league.

To become a referee, you first complete 4-6 hours of on-line training and attend an 5 hour in-person clinic. The following New Referee Clinics have been scheduled for individuals to become Referees. The cost of the clinic and registration is $73.00.
