Soccer Referees Needed

As the popularity of our sport grows, and Eclipse Soccer Club continues to expand, we are in need of both adult and youth referees for games at all levels of competition. The need for adult referees and referees in the Sienna Plantation community is particularly acute.
Referees are paid by the club or (for more competitive matches) by Houston Youth Soccer Association (HYSA) on a scale which depends on age level:
U7/U8 $10 per game
U9/U10 $15 –Referee; $7.50 – AR
U11/U12/U13/U14 $30– Referee; $15 – AR
U15/U16 $40-Referee; $20 – AR
U17/U18/U19 $45-Referee; $25 - AR
Referees must be four years older than the players in the game. All referees are certified by the United States Soccer Federation (USSF).
In addition to club sponsored recreational games, some Eclipse teams play against teams from other clubs in leagues sponsored by HYSA. HYSA assigns neutral referees for those matches, and assesses each club a “quota” of neutral assignments to be completed by its referees. Teams from clubs who do not fill their referee quota are not eligible for the playoffs each season.
If you are interested in becoming a soccer referee there are a number of referee training clinics upcoming in August. There are two entry levels for new referees:
Grade 9 Recreational Referee – certified to referee U10 and below, or assist on U14 or below. One day (9 hour) training class. Recommended for new referees 12 or 13 years old.
Grade 8 Referee- certified to referee any age youth match (and certain levels of adult matches). Two day (16 hour) training class. Recommended for older youth(14+) and all adult referees.
The training clinics schedule for this summer is almost finalized. Tentative dates for entry level clinics in Sugar Land and west Houston, include:
Grade 9 – August 16th – Lost Creek Park
Grade 8 – August 2/3rd – Lost Creek Park
Grade 8 – August 23/24th- West University Scout House
Grade 9 – September 7th – Lost Creek Park
We are looking to add another entry level clinic in Sienna Plantation.
Additionally, for returning referees:
Grade 9 to 8 Bridge – August 23rd – Eldridge Park
Grade 8 Recertification – August 10th – First Colony Conference Center
Grade 8 Recertification –August 24th – Sugar Land Community Center
Eclipse Soccer Club reimburses clinic fees, annual USSF registration fees and a portion of uniform costs. A complete list of clinics across the state and on-line clinic registration will be available by mid-June at www.stsr.org . Follow the directions at the web site to sign up for a clinic. If you have questions, send an email with questions to: referee@eclipsesoccerclub.com
