Why Ref with PWSRA

Application Process OPEN for Spring 2010

January 1, 2010 -- We welcome new and experienced referees to join us. You must apply (see below) and attend our pre-season meeting on March 31.

We want to see our referees, in particular, our young referees, succeed. We believe it is important to their growth to attend our pre-season meeting so we can best determine where and how to assist them. It is in the best interest of the new referee that we insure that they are properly trained, above and beyond the certification course. Our experience is that referees who do not learn our assigning process nor show any interest in receiving feedback to advance become frustrated and soon leave. We gladly welcomed 73 new referees for in 2009.

We purposely do not take on more referees than we can handle. We want every new referee to feel that they are receiving personal attention so they can be successful.


 

Joining PWSRA
If you want to referee with PWSRA you must first become a referee. If you are not a certified referee, please read our section on Becoming a Referee. Once you have been certified, which means attended and passed a new referee course, then contact PWSRA to join.

We assign for PWSI’s recreational matches including the small-sided high school and adult matches at Howison. We also assign for PWSI’s ODSL travel games. If you want to referee these matches you need to become a member of PWSRA.

We are not contracted to assign for PWSI’s travel games under NCSL and WAGS. To officiate those matches one must contact a contracted assignor who handles these games. In addition, we are not contracted to assign for PWSI’s tournaments. If you are interested in working one of the tournaments, please follow the tournament link for more information.

If you want to join PWSRA do consider this: PWSRA uses a state-of-the-art Internet based assigning program for game offers. Therefore, referees must have Internet and email access, be able to check messages at least once every three days, be responsible in accepting and reporting to assignments in a timely manner, and filing game reports online immediately after a match. Young referees must have parental support to help them succeed. If you believe you have what it takes to be successful as a referee, please send the following information:

Are You an Active Member of PWSRA?
Referees who are active members of PWSRA have accounts in the Arbiter.net. Referees who fail to accept any games over two seasons will have the Arbiter license inactivated so it can be transferred to another official. The test is simple. If you can log into the Arbiter under the Prince William Soccer Referee Association - you're an active member. If not, contact the assignor.
