Referees Wanted for Veterans Cup

July 17-22,2007 Bellingham, Washington

Referees are now being solicited to officiate in this year’s Veterans Cup.  It will be held in Bellingham, Washington, from Tuesday, July 17th and conclude on Sunday, July 22nd.  This year’s event in Bellingham should be one of the best thus far.

 

Referees will have to pay their travel to and from the event.  Housing will be provided (2 to a room) at a local university dormitory.  Breakfast will be provided for the referees at the university.  Lunch will be provided by the hosts at the fields each day.  There will be some dinner parties available for the referees also.  Transportation to and from the dorms will be provided by the local host committee.

 

Like last year, US Soccer will be hosting an all female referee academy in conjunction with this event.  This is an invitation-only academy and recommendations are required from the SRA.  If the tournament scheduling permits, female referees that come to this event could participate in the academy clinics.  Please contact Scott Meyer, SRA, if you wish to be considered.
