Region 208 strives to make referees available for every game (at U8 and above). To make this
happen, we need numerous volunteers every Saturday. Almost anyone can become a referee
and enhance the game for our kids. If you are interested in becoming a referee, attend
one of the Referee Training courses held throughout the year.
Referee Training:
We always encourage existing referees to upgrade their training and certifications. Please
note upper level training offerings will be dependent upon the amount of people that
enroll.
