Youth Sports Referees

Please have a look at the article below by Today regarding sideline behavior negatively impacting youth sports referees.

I know my approach toward referees changed substantially once one of my kids started reffing and I saw how folks on both sidelines were addressing him.

If you or your child are interested in becoming a referee, please visit the South Texas Soccer Referees website www.stsr.org to learn more; visit their clinics page to see what’s currently available www.stsr.org/AvailableClinics.aspx .

Please do what you can to help us retain our referees; treat them with respect as they try to improve their game while helping our kids improve their game.
