MSI JUNIOR REFEREE PROGRAM

Covid-19 Note:  During the Fall 2020 season, the Youth Game Leader program is suspended.  The information below is for informational purposes, only, and we hope to be able renew this program for the Spring 2021 season   If we are able to reopen this program, a notice will post on this page.

Historically, MSI has conducted a "Junior Referee" program in order to supplement the significant shortage of adult, USSF-certified referees.  As the referee pool has grown, we have progressively reduced the number of games led by MSI Junior Referees, and increased the number of games led by adult, USSF-certified referees.  At this time, we believe that the pool of adult, USSF-certified referees has grown large enough that we are able to provide those adult referees for all games previously led by MSI Junior Referees.

In future seasons, we encourage all those who previously have served as MSI Junior Referees to continue with our Youth Game Leader program by serving as Youth Game Leaders in our 1st and 2nd Grade programs.  When the program starts again, please come prepared with athletic wear, water and your undivided attention!
