Gander Revolution Football Club will be hosting a referee clinic on June 15-16th, 2024, for anyone interested.
The clinic will be broken down into 2 separate courses;
1. Small Sided play - Minimum 12 years of age
2. Full Pitch play - Minimum of 14 years of age
(Small sided play is not required to register for full field play)
The course to receive your NLSA qualification is broken down into 2 sections. Participants must register and complete the online portion, prior to attending the on field practical phase of the course.
The online course material is self guided and requires roughly 6 hours of time to complete. Here you will learn the 17 laws of the game, hand signals, positioning, kit requirements for officials, and how to implement them on field. The practical, on-field phase of the course is approximately 1 hour and will require you to put all you've learned into practice.
There is a $100 registration fee required, in order to register for the NLSA referee certification, which will be reimbursed on completion of the training.
If you have a long love of the game, or if you're just new to the sport, looking to learn the rules, and would like to earn some extra cash on the side, why not come on out and give officiating a try. Interested participants can register on the NLSA website, www.nlsa.ca, then forward their name to Michael Myles, senior official for Gander Revolution Football Club, at mikemyles@hotmail.com
Hope to see you on the pitch!
