CUYS Hosts Referee Training

On August 20, CUYS hosted a referee training clinic in collaboration with Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association.

Anyone ages 14+ is eligible to become a certified referee, and will be paid handsomely for their work on the field.

Seventeen referees were certified at CUYS’ session and will now be called upon to earn money officiating games.

"It's really interesting to learn about a different side of the game than what I experience as a player,” said one new referee, Andre Almonte, who plays for FC Delco ECNL and Strath Haven High School, "It will be great to be able to earn money in a way that is flexible and uses my knowledge of soccer."
