Last night was one of the NSAA's meetings of high school soccer coaches and referees. Unless a bunch of Lincoln referees went to or are planning to attend meetings elsewhere, we may be in big trouble in Lincoln this year. Referee numbers are down significantly from last year ... and we weren't exactly overflowing with refs last year.
If you or anybody you know has an interest in refereeing high school soccer -- that includes varsity, junior varsity, and/or reserve -- please contact me soon at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). Not in Lincoln? We also need referees to cover Nebraska City, Beatrice, Norris, Waverly, and Seward.
Experience is not required; knowledge of the game is, of course, helpful, but we can help train you whatever your background. Case in point: last year we had a guy show up with virtually zero soccer experience. All he did in preparation was read the rule book cover to cover (which includes some reffing advice) and attend one of our training sessions. Even with no playing experience and little game watching experience he turned out to be a very decent referee.
If you want to dive right in, we have a high school referee meeting tonight at 7:00pm at Bison Sports Complex at 710 Hill Street (just northwest of 9th and Van Dorn). I would love to see you there!
