Wanted: High School Soccer Referees!

Folks – this may be the year that we discover how important referees are to the three-legged stool of High School Soccer (players, coaches, referees). This request came in over the weekend:

There are 2 new schools that have been added to our assigning schedule (Branson, Logan-Rogersville) which means we need at least 6 new referees just to break even on an already short roster. We have really been working hard on recruiting this summer but I fear we are falling short. We welcome those new to wearing the shirt to those who have worn out their whistles.

For more information and for assistance in getting registered they can contact me at hamman000 (at) yahoo (dot) com or by phone 417-827-9215.

If you are a referee, but not currently doing High School soccer, I’d love to hear from you privately so I can do a story on issues that may be holding us back in that area. Otherwise, please contact Brad and lets keep the growth of the soccer community moving forward.
