The British Columbia Soccer Association's Referee Education Program exists to support and foster the development and education of referees from the grassroots to elite levels of refereeing throughout British Columbia. The series of clinics within the program focus on teaching / up dating referees on the Laws of the Game and how to implement these laws on the field of play.
If referees strive to be successful they will need more than law interpretation skill and experience; although these are both indispensable. Being a successful soccer referee is about personal desire towards continuing education and learning about the game and the Laws which govern it.
The British Columbia Soccer Association holds a variety of Referee Clinics across British Columbia on a regular basis. Please click on the level to view clinic overview and schedule of current clinics.
