Calling all referrees: there's a unique mentoring opportunity taking place this weekend at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
From our friends at Play The Whistle:
"Whether you are new to the referee community or a veteran referee, everyone is welcome and encouraged to join Play The Whistle for free continuing education. Spectators, coaches, and soccer enthusiasts who want to understand more about the job of the referees are also invited.
The mentor program is in place to provide support and continuing education to promote referees, increase referee retention and enhance the level of officiating at all levels.
This is a great opportunity to better understand the laws of the game, hear from presenters about topics other that the typical laws of the game, and learn tips and pointers that have made other referees successful."
