Great idea...we need new faces.

"Soccer referees are needed for high school soccer games in the York, Chester and Lancaster County areas. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!! Training will be done, but a basic knowledge of soccer is preferable.

Referees will work high school and middle school soccer games from February through early May in York, Lancaster and Chester Counties. Referee are paid competitively per game and mileage is reimbursed at 45 cents per mile."

Why not get the NC referees to step over the border?

That's pretty horrible that absolutely no experience is necessary. Any hobo off the street could walk in. At least put some criteria such as grade 8 or above or even some higher level playing experience necessary. I hope this isn't true high school but just intramurals. Furthermore, there are plenty of certified refs that would love to work those games in that area I'm sure.
Sorry for stating the obvious.

We don't really need new faces, just more quality referees. That's what we're looking for in reaching out north of the border.

We have very good referees in York County.....just not enough of them to cover all the boys and girls high school and middle school games in the spring. North Carolina doesn't have this problem. The same quality refs who work high-level boys HS matches in the fall also work the high-level, competitive girls matches in the spring.

With both boys and girls high school (and middle school) soccer being played in the spring in SC, our best officials get spread too thin.

Like any good organization.....looking to add depth to the squad.


Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
