Referee Volunteers,
Please check out the updated Referee Training page at http://ayso43.org/Referees/RefereeTraining.htm. Summer is half over and now is the time to start getting prepared for the Fall season!
Remember to check the Referee Checklist on the training page for things you need to do this summer!
For all refs, we need you to login to webyouthsoccer and set your referee preferences. Otherwise, the automatic scheduler program in webyouthsoccer may not give you the games, fields, or age groups you prefer. See the Region 43 www.ayso43.org page for a link to the login function. If you do not have a kid registered in the region this year, email me for a username/password to get on.
For new refs, key is deciding which training course to take (likely Regional Referee or U8 Official; see the Referee FAQ at http://www.ayso43.org/Referees/AYSO%20Region%2043%20Referee%20FAQ.htm for more help).
The updated Referee Training page includes tentative scheduled courses and meetings in our region:

There are still many Area/Intermediate courses available soon for those returning Refs who did not investigate upgrading yet. See http://eda.org/~randyh/soccer_ref_files/ayquicklist.html for a quick summary of upcoming courses starting as soon as next week! If you are upgrading to Section or National, you should be registered and heading to the Golden Gate Camp or Ken Aston camp this week or next :-)
As always, contact Ray or I with any questions. We look forward to seeing you on the pitch!
