Referee Clinics Coming soon in Waterloo!
We are pleased to see the growing interest in becoming a soccer referee within our community.Planning for our Waterloo United Referee clinics is underway, and we are working to have them ready to take place in Waterloo soon. Registration will open in February, and once it does, I will be sending a detailed email with all the information you need. Becoming a referee is a great way to stay involved in the game, develop leadership skills, and be part of a supportive referee community.
More details coming soon, we hope to welcome you this spring.
