1. Determine schedule for training classes. Discuss with referee coordinator. We currently do one in early August .

2. Reserve facility for classes. District VI currently requires that this is four days that must be MW 6-10 PM two weeks in a row or TuTh 6-10 PM two weeks in a row (might flex this for the Sept. class since it is the only one offered this late). It is difficult to reserve facilities with this rigid a time schedule! Should be done as early as possible!

a. G.B. Library – they open their reservation book for the year in October and fill quickly. Also, they have a rule (enforcement depends on who you talk to) restricting a group to two nights a month. Free
b. G.B. High school - cost
c. Other G.B. schools - cost
d. Maidu Library - expensive

3. Schedule classes with District VI Director of Referees. Obtain application from www.d6soccer.org , complete and submit.

4. Update club website to reflect class schedule.

5. Prepare Referee Flyer to go out with registration package.

6. Serve as Contact Person for class registration

a. Your name and contact info will be on the D6 website and should be on the club website and the Referee Flyer.
b. Handle checks for class registration. We require a $25 deposit check which I shred provided they complete the class (ie take the exam – we don’t require that they pass it)

7. About one month before the class send an email flyer advertising the class to all referees and coaches (actually send to Coaching Coordinators for Rec. and Select.)

8. Prepare email list of those in the class.

- Confirm enrollment and send out class reminder (phone if no email address)
- Provide Assigner/Information Coordinator with email list of candidates that pass class and wish to referee for EYSC

9. Prepare a class sign-in list. Prepare Referee Clinic Information hand-out (see sample) for distribution at clinic.

10. Attend classes or arrange for a substitute. There must be an adult from the club present at all times (see d6 class application for details). Arrange for the Club Treasurer (or write a personal check and get reimbursed) to be at final meeting to pay for registration.

11. Prepare a Excel list of referee information for each successful candidate that wishes to work for EYSE and forward to Assigner/Information Coordinator

12. Track candidates that did not complete the class and help them locate additional classes

13. Arrange Field Session for new referees. Need to discuss this with the instructor for the class as they are sometimes involved. Referee Trainer might also be involved. Need to arrange field with club Field Coordinator.

14. Prepare a Field Session sign-in list with complete information for verification or completion (see sample). Prepare New Referee Meeting handout for distribution at Field Session (should include modified rules and a map to the Assigner’s house.)

a. Forward corrected referee information to Assigner/Information Coordinator.
