Instructor's Corner
Wally Fallman	January 2007

As we start 2007, let’s all make a few resolutions. Here are my suggestions…………………… You can add to these as you like.

• Every SCRA registered referee will read the 2007 Laws of the Game at least once.
  
  
• Every grade 5 or 6 referee (or emeritus) will “adopt” a youth referee for at least 5 games during the year to act as a mentor and on-field advisor. This will expand the youth program and provide support for those youth referees aspiring to become "centers”.
  
  
• Of the 350 or so registered referees, that we improve our monthly attendance at meetings to facilitate training requirements for annual re-certification. Remember, the annual requirements for grades 7 and 8 are 5 hours of training that can either be received at monthly meetings or spending an entire day at a re-certification clinic (and miss doing games that day). Your call.
  
  
• In 2006 we had a number of upgrades from 8s to 7s and from 7s to 6 (State). Congratulations to you all. Let’s do it again!
  
  
• We will become a well dressed and equipped referee group, i.e., shirts of different colors beginning with yellow, black and red (in that order) to look professional.

• And finally (but not the least), we will have fun …………………………………………..

See you on the pitch!
