- WMSOA members and referee parents -
It is time to mark your calendars for important soccer instructional dates. Every USSF certified referee must re-certify for the next calendar year. This requirement does not apply to any referee who trained in the July/August 2009 class. If you have any doubt about whether or not you need to attend a recertification clinic, pull your USSF referee badge from your referee bag and check the date on the badge. If the badge says "2009", then you must re-certify at one of the clinics listed below. If your badge says "2010" on it, you are ready for the 2010 spring and fall seasons. If you have any questions about this, please contact Steve Horton at his email address:
