West Prince Storm soccer club - Referee course
PEI Soccer is hoping to grow the referee base that we have on the Island for this upcoming summer. It is a great way to make some extra money and the club has always supported its referee's in the fact that we are the only club on the Island that tries to assign 3 referee's to every game, 1 in the middle and 2 on the lines or at the very least a 2 person referee system for games.
The referee association has also increased the fees this summer for referee payments so even if you are only interested in doing lines for games and don't want to go in the middle, that may be an option as well and you would get paid very well.
The course is going to be set up a little differently as well this year - the first section of the course will be done online and then when that is completed, we will make arrangements for someone to come up and do the practical/on field session with everyone to finish the certification process. There is a chance that there may be a small fee to take the course, potentially $10. As well, I believe the referee association is looking at putting together a package for those who take course where for $25 they can get their jersey, whistle and cards for the summer which is a great price if it in fact does take place.
The fee's we pay for games are as follows:
Under 11 - $30 for the referee, $20 for the assistant referees on the line
Under 13 - $35 for the referee, $25 for the assistant referees on the line
Under 15 - $50 for the referee, $30 for the assistant referees on the line
Under 18 - $60 for the referee, $40 for the assistant referees on the line
Senior - $70 for the referee, $45 for the assistant referees on the line
As you can see, it would not take a whole lot of games to add up a few dollars for anyone who would like to take part.
