The Colorado Joint Referee Committee has scheduled a series of
Advanced Referee Training Sessions. This ongoing instructional program is designed to help referees of all levels advance their officiating skills, in areas such as communications, fouls, positioning, player management along with current topics.
Our mission is to provide the training and support you need to get to the next level. If you are interested in improving your officiating skills or looking to upgrading, these sessions will qualify for your Advanced Training Hours requirement. NOTE: Advanced Referee Training Sessions do not replace annual re-certification sessions. You will still be required to attend a re-certification clinic. Advanced Referee Training Sessions will be held at various locations throughout the year. If you wish to sponsor one of these Advanced Referee Training Sessions in your area please contact Kevin Yant, SRA or Chuck Locke, SDI for details. |
