Welcome Referees

I started this blog for all the referees volunteering for AYSO Region 112 in the La Verne / San Dimas area of the east San Gabriel Valley. Each week, or more often, I will post observations, themes, clarifications, and more related to refereeing soccer. This blog will follow the similar format used by USSF on its pro site, but as a blog, we can use it as two way communication.

Since the beginning of the Fall 2008 season I have been sending similar information by email to the region's referees. I hope this blog will be more useful, user friendly and easier to update.

I only ask that you keep the posts to the topic of soccer refereeing. Also, please keep comments professional, polite, and constructive. I reserve the right to edit posts to avoid any offense to another person.
