Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association Friday announced a U.S. Soccer referee assignor course scheduled for Saturday, March 11 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the East Hudson Youth Soccer League office.

Instructor Rich Ceonzo will talk about the tactics of assigning, how to keep refs motivated and active plus the assignor’s code of ethics.

To register, contact Cathy Romano at [email protected] or 845-721-6325 and bring to the class a check made out to ENYSRA for $100.

Applicants must also bring proof of successful completion of Risk Management.

Those who have not already completed Risk Management must log on to http://enyysaref.siplay.com/site/ so they can attend the course.

If your league or club does not use an assigning tool and would like to use ARBITERSPORT, let Romano know and she will set up a time to take you through how to use the tool.

The EHYSL office is located at 407 Route 6, Mahopac, N.Y. 10541.
