Opportunities for parents and
girls-information
Parents,
A few volunteer
opportunities for the parents have come up and there
is an opportunity for some of the girls to make some
money for themselves in the future.
Second,
the club has been running a bingo session as a
fundraiser for the club every Wednesday night since
the middle of March. Apparently, it has been
successful to the point where we are going to be doing
this on an ongoing, annual basis. However, the club
does need 3 -4 volunteers at each session from 5 to 9
on a Wednesday night to keep the sessions going. It's
my understanding that as we move forward teams that
provide volunteers will receive the proceeds from the
night(s) that they work. The location is in south
county. I am going to try and get down there on the
18th or the 25th of this month to see how it goes. I
can drive. If anyone is interested in helping out
please let me know asap.
Finally, Brighton wants to begin refereeing games in
the fall. To do this she needs to get certified with
the state as a referee. SLYSA is running a referee
certification class at their office in Fenton. They
have put together a 15 hour class (2 nights and a
Saturday morning) that will be available to all
parents, coaches or players (13 years and older) that
will be no cost for the class (Referee is responsible
for the $30.00 Referee registration fee). We will
also provide a uniform, flags and whistle.
The class will be held Tuesday August 5th 6:00-9:30,
Thursday August 7th 6:00-9:30 and Saturday August 9th
–
9:00-5:00 at the SLYSA office in Fenton (near Soccer
Park) 2275 Cassens Dr, Fenton, MO 63026.
Cost of class
–
Free
Cost of Registration - $30.00
Uniform cost (Shirt, shorts, socks, whistle,
red/yellow cards, flags)
–
free
The age
requirement is more of a guideline than a rule. If
they are close to 13 and ready to Ref then Randy will
accept them. Brighton and I will be signing up for
the class in August. No, I don't have time to ref but
I want to know what they are training the referees to
call.
Thanks,
Graham
