State Referee Committee News

April 20, 2008

Greetings from the State Referee Committee! As the spring season is underway, your SRC is hard at work reviewing and preparing for the year. At our March meeting, a number of significant changes took place, so please review these carefully.

The SRC gives a reluctant good-bye to Dick Triche as he moves to Chicago to work with the U.S. Soccer Referee Department as Manager of Assignment, and a big hello to Michael Day, who takes over as Operations Manager. Please note our new address at the bottom of the page. The telephone numbers and email remain the same.

Changes to the STSR Policy Manual dominated the discussions. Changes include:

· A late fee of $25.00 will be added to annual recertification registrations for 2009 that are received after January 31, 2009.

· All Grade 7 referees are expected to send registration forms directly to the SRA for processing.

· Clinic costs will be determined annually by the SRC, and published prior to the effective date of July 1 each year (the fee for all clinics after July 1, 2008 will be increased $5.00).

· Room and travel costs for trainees attending training/certification clinics/courses are paid only if funds are available. For this budget year (2008), there are no funds available to pay for rooms and travel to clinics/course. Hardship appeals for financial aid may be made directly in writing to the SRA.

· Referee assessment fees shall be established by the SRC, and published by the SDA.

· Travel costs incurred by an assessor will be the responsibility of the assessed referee, per STSR policy.

· The 2008 budget was approved

· Assessment expenses $13,300

Have a great Spring Season!
