Referees Needed!
Hello wellington Soccer Club,
My name is Phil Wenzofsky, your club’s USSF certified Referee Assignor.
Each year we reach out to find our next great referees from within our soccer family. Homegrown Referees are always the best; they are diligent, caring and attentive. They take pride in their performance as an official, knowing that family and friends are there to support their efforts.
FYSA, Florida Youth Soccer Association, has tasked the Soccer Clubs with recruiting and developing referees. Without these wonderful, hard working individuals, there could be games that have to be moved to away sites or forfeits. Wellington has had a phenomenal history of fielding fantastic referees. AS we speak two of the referees that came thru Wellington Club as regular referees are now Semi Pro and professional referees. They can be seen as officials in MLS and PDL national level matches as well as NCAA matches.
Many of our referees have taken their abilities and used these skills to earn extra pocket money while in college. My son was able to use his skills to work as a sports official for Intramural and club matches at FSU, becoming a Supervisor of officials.
With graduation and normal attrition it is important that we develop our next generation of referees. We are reaching out to both youth and adult candidates. Your participation in club soccer makes everyone a uniquely talented person.
Classes will be held in August, in time for the fall soccer season. Won’t you please consider joining an elite, professional, gifted group of soccer nuts. It’s fun and rewarding job; what better way to be on the field, make a difference and earn a few dollars. After completing the entry level course you are certified as a United States Soccer Federation Referee, the beginning level of the FIFA program.
If you are interested please forward me your name, phone number, email and whether you are an adult or youth referee candidate. We are looking for youth and adult referees, both men and women. Women are important to the Referee world. Due to the exploding rise in popularity of women’s soccer, women referees are wanted and needed more than ever.
Interested? Send me that info right away. We are compiling our first class list as we speak. You can contact me at weasel@bellsouth.net
Thank you and see you on the pitch.
