On January 13^th, at the Heather Farm Park, Lakeshore Room, the WCSC Referee Program celebrated its 2011 success at the Annual Awards Dinner. With 70 plus referees attending, the event was kicked off with a dinner catered by Kinder’s BBQ. Dinner was followed by a presentation by the Director of Referees, Sal Crispi. After welcoming all, introductions, and conveying a message from Kevin Erwin, the President of WCSC, Sal spent the balance of the evening presenting prizes, appreciation gifts, and awards. The presentation included gifts presented to Referees who attended all 3 ICS Meetings in the Fall (including an OSI $100 Gift Certificate!), the 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 Game "Club" Gifts to all those who officiated 20 or more Games, and 11 Referee Awards and Gifts for Outstanding Performances in 2011.

Question 151: In a U-12 boys game, the blue team sets up a wall to defend against a free kick. Red #10 takes a hard kick, sending the ball directly at blue #5 in the middle of the wall. As he reacts and turns away, the ball hits his hand.  For Answer CLICK HERE

Request For 2011 Referee Mentors

Provided by Sal Crispi

We currently have +/- 60 New Referee Candidates attending our 2 Entry Level Clinics this month. They will need our help and support so they can develop as officials.

During the Soccer Season, Mentors are asked to contact their Mentorees, make sure they understand the Referee Program Procedures, observe them perform in at least one game, and maintain contact with them throughout their 1st Season. In return, you will have the Referee Program's gratitude for helping to continue the fine quality of our officiating and the knowledge that you have assisted a new Referee in becoming a competent official. If you have at least 3 years experience in officiating and a desire to help new officials, CLICK HERE to register your interest with WCSC's Mentor Coordinator Erich Kellner. 

Taunting Anyone?!

Great example of taunting! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82wM8s-_2RM

If it rains, before you head out to your game, don't forget to call the WC Rain Number: (925) 256-3574! If it should begin to rain, after play begins, continue play, if there is no standing water on the field. Once standing water begins to form, if you are in the 2nd half, try to finish the game. If you are in the 1st half, abandon the game. All other later games should not be attempted to start, if there is standing water. Remember, after the morning Rain Announcement, Park & Rec may not be able to make another announcement. It is not only the safety of the participants we should be concerned about, but also the prevention of field damage. We are guests of Park & Rec and fields must be preserved for future use!
