DSA Needs Referees for Club Excel and Travel Games

by posted 02/23/2010

DSA is always looking for players and parents who are interested in becoming certified referees to properly staff our many Club Excel and Travel games each weekend.

The pay is good ($25-$65/match) and we offer guidance and support for all of our referees as they gain experience.

Anyone who will be 13 or older by June 30th 2010 is eligible to take the course, which is adminstered by the Connecticut State Referee Program. To read the full details and sign up so you can get started, go to:

http://ctreferee.net/

In brief here is the process:

New this year, the course is being conducted almost completely on-line, at a self study pace. Once you have registered, you study the 4 modules of the course in sequence. There is a test at the end of each sequence that you must pass before moving ahead to the next module.

Once you have completed all 4 modules, you then sign up for a combined Field Training Session and Final Test. This is a live session, with 3 hours of field training, followed by a one hour study break. In the last 2 hours you take the Final Test. You need a score of 75 or better on the Final to earn your certification.

NOTE: Darien is hosting a Field Training and Final Test session on SATURDAY MARCH 6th. There will be other sessions offered elsewhere, but this one is the most convenient.

I realize that this is short notice, but since this is the first year of moving everything on-line, it took them a lot longer than expected to get the system up and running.

I encourage you to get started, even if you might not finish all 4 modules before the March 6th event. You can always go to another future Field Session in a nearby town.

PARENTS- Please note that you are also welcome and encouraged to take the course with your child. It can be a particularly rewarding experience to work along side them as they take on the responsibilities and gain the self confidence that comes with refereeing.

I am also always looking for volunteers to assist in small ways. The DSA referee program has grown to be quite popular, and I could really use some help.

If you would like to help, or have any other questions, simply reply to this e-mail. There are some additional details about the referee program under the Referee tab on the DSA website.
