Referees

Who can be a SAR referee for the 2019 season?

Anyone going into 8th grade or older this fall is eligible to referee for the St. Alban Training League

What referee training is required?

If you are a new referee candidate, you must attend one of the entire sessions and pass the referee test.  Returning Trophy League referees who have previously attended the class and passed the referee test, need to attend only the review & test session and receive a passing grade on the test in order to referee in the upcoming Trophy League. You may take the entire training session again, if so desired.

Are there other requirements?

All adults (18 and over): 

Must have attended a Protecting God's Children Workshop (Parish has records of attendees, if not sure you attended previously)
