Referee Clinic for Soccer Alaska Players...Free after rebate!

Referees are always in short supply in Anchorage, especially adult referees. The situation has gradually improved over the past few years, but there are always open slots, especially in the summer when the goal is to have three referees on every single game.

In conjunction with the local soccer referee community Soccer Alaska is holding a certification clinic exclusively for adult players looking for a new way to contribute to the game. The clinic will be Saturday, May 16 from 9 am - 5 pm at 301 Calista Ct (near Dimond and King St). Participants will be required to pay $80 upfront, which covers the cost of the class as well as a basic referee uniform kit. Once a participant works three Soccer Alaska games, we will send you a check for $80 as a "rebate."

Reffing, even once a week, can provide a decent supplemental income. For outdoor games the minimum game fee is $20 and the maximum is around $60. For indoor, the minimum is also $20 and the maximum is $35. At the conclusion of this class you will be certified as a USSF Grade 9 "Recreational" Referee, and immediately eligible to work Soccer Alaska games.

If you would like to attend, please email info@socceralaska.com with "Referee clinic" as the subject. Questions may also be sent to this email address.
