Had a banger of a game tonight. HS Boys. Latino team from lower socioeconomic area, and a more middle class predominantly white team. 5 yellows, 3...
I first got my USSF badge in 1999 at only 14 years old. For the next 20 years I refereed everything from little kids to adults. I have done...
Just took my 2017 State Referee re-cert written test online. Anyone know if these are the same in every state, or if each state develops their...
As it's the time of year where the new crop of referees has begun to take classes for certification for 2017, and because we haven't had a lot of...
Before I get started, I can say I am completely fine with any disagreement I may receive for this. And that's fine. This is something I'm doing...
I know we've discussed different whistles ad nauseum on here. I'm aware that those discussions have also reviewed the myriad of ways we carry...

Well, outdoor season is all of 2 weeks old, and I've had to go to my back pocket twice already. Once in a B14 game for a 2nd CT, and a straight...
I am in the process of working to go from 7 to 6. I have been working on my spreadsheet for the game count portion, which I find to be the...
I just earned my futsal badge today! My instructor was Jason Krnac, one of the 2 US FIFA futsal referees in the country. He worked the Futsal WC...
