recreational soccer ref
no experience is necessary for becoming a referee. The first thing you want to do, is find the schedule for reffing clinics that will teach all the information that is necessary for becoming certified. sometimes you can do it in just one weekend if you do a 8 hour long clinic secession. The clinic fee will generally be 30 dollars. At the end of the instructional course, you take an easy multiple choice, true or false exam. A minimum of 75% is needed to pass the course. Once you have completed the certification process, you must register as a referee through STSR (south Texas soccer referees). The fee for registering will be 50 dollars, but don't worry because you will be making it all back very soon. Each game can get you up to 15 dollars, that's a pretty good deal in my opinion. After you have finished registering an you are ready to get some games, just contact your local assignor and you'll be reffing before you know it. I plan on getting certified myself once winter break comes around, so you should think about it as well. I think it might help a lot though, if you already play soccer. for more about becoming a recreational soccer ref, go to the STSR site

This was interesting, but you still have some grammar issues, you forgot to capitalize some letters.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to earn cash in the Spring, but if you consider this, you should also consider being a baseball umpire. It is more difficult, but you don't necessarily need certification or to take an exam, and you get paid upwards of $50 a game (depending on where you are on the field, and the age group, and your experience level).
