eAYSO		 Region 9 Referee Information
Thousand Oaks, California

 
 

It is upgrade time !

 

The health of our referee program can be measured by the retention of experienced referees and their willingness to upgrade their referee certification to Intermediate, Advance and National Badges.

 

Area 10E will typically run an upgrade class locally each November, after conclusion of the league season. Nearby Areas will hold upgrade classes through out the year and are open to all referees.

 

Please contact Bruce Bennett for more information.
