Fall Pre-Season Training for CVSRA Members

One benefit CVSRA offers is the continual development of our officials. We are pleased to announce fall pre-season training offered across the Richmond area. We are here to help you prepare for the fall season by reviewing the changes to the laws of the game, to the major changes to referee grades, re-certification procedures, registration, and to our mentoring program.

Please attend training! You are responsible for knowing and, as the referee, enforcing the current interpretation and application of these new law (rule) changes - whether you attend or not. To support you adapting to all of the changes, training session attendees will receive an extensive, newly developed pre-game check list.

What will the training cover?

1. Changes in the Laws of the Game

2. Changes in Referee Grades and Certification

3. Updates for the Mentoring Program

4. Referee Professionalism

5. Feedback on the Referee Evaluation Program

6. Officiating using the 2-man system (Used for Middle School and Private School)

7. Referee Crew Teamwork

8. Communication using Head Sets

9. The Power of Persuasive Officiating

10. Emphasis on the Pre-Game
