How are you associated / certified?

Just curious, how many of you have multiple certifications, affiliations?

Where exactly are you in No. MI? Don't they have youth travel clubs up there?

In central Iowa, their are no u16 or u19 games in the spring - only high school. If you want to do high school, you have to have USSF and NFHS and join the Mid Iowa Soccer Official Association which assigns the games.

I asked because I know that Traverse City has teams in the fall because they have teams that play in the GVSA (Grand Valley Soccer Assn -- Grand Rapids area) and in the GVSA/WMYSA/CASL Elite divisions.

Also, Petosky has fall travel teams for U10 to U14 boys and U11 to U18 girls and a fall tournament Sept 7-8.

So that's why I asked.

So that's why I asked. Are you coming up to the Cherryland tournament this weekend?

No, in return for support from my wife for refereeing from March 15 thru July 4 with only 2 weekends off (and only 1 of those soccer free), I don't take any games or do anything besides the referee clinic from July 4 until high school starts -- clinic is Aug 10 and first game is Aug 17.

I've been hitting the honey-do list very hard the last few weekends and it continues this weekend.

We do boys high school in fall and girls high school in the spring and USSF year round almost with a little break in the cold months. We also have touchline indoor fields. This is in Eastern Pa.

I've been affilliated with both in the past, but high school games around here start too early. Unfortunately, I just haven't been able to arrange my work schedule for early departures very often.
