SCD Announcement for League Game Schdules

SCD League Game Schedules - League games are scheduled. They ARE NOT FINAL and should not be considered final until Sunday morning. Clubs were informed about this. To test the publications of the schedules in this new system we need to "Publish" the games today to test the functionality. This will be limited to only one or two Division/Pool. If you see games added or are notified of these games, please know they are not to be considered accurate until Sunday morning. If you see games added and deleted then added - I APOLOGIZE for all the notices but we need to test this. Please be patient.

Game Schedule Availability - Current game schedules are available in this way:1)SCD Commissioners have sent to clubs in PDF. 2)SCD site. Go to "Team > SCD Games " then filter/limit to any club/gender/age/team etc... 3)Schedules are available to all clubs in their admin systems by clicking the League tab. 4)We BELIEVE schedules will become available in Team Connect sites and are actively working on this now.

SCD League Game Scheduling and Schedules Changes - This weekend is the SCD League scheduling meeting. The schedules, as in the past, have to be changed to represent the results of the meeting. These changes are done by to assigned users(club admins, coaches, managers, etc…) given access to do this. This is in the League tab of the Club system.

I will try to create and post today a video of the above

SCD What Are These Announcements?

Hello - I am hoping to clarify much confusion as to SCD Fall League, These announcements and other information.

Announcements - This message is what is called an Announcement. It is created in the South Central District (SCD) system. Announcements are always placed on the SCD website main page. Some announcements that are deemed needed to be pushed to SCD team coaching staff are set to also show on SCD teams Team Connect announcements. This is shown to all on Team Connect including parents and players. There is no setting for coaches only.

I will be sending some required Announcements today. Announcements are limited length so need to be as short as possible.

Advisory: Player/Coach Photos & Birth Records

Player and Coach Photo Uploads: The recommended file size is 150px by 200 px. The recommended file type is png, jpg or jpeg.

Birth Record Uploads: The recommended file type is PDF(but other formats may work).

Happy Summer.

Registration for the Entry Level, or as US Soccer now refers to it, Grassroots, Referee Program is open through the end of August. To register the candidate must turn 13 by 12/31/18. Once the online and in person session, which run through September 9th, are completed the referee can start officiating immediately and will be certified through 12/31/19. Please have the candidates follow the detailed instructions at https://www.ctreferee.net/files/referee_instructions/new_referee_grassroots_instructions_31Jul18.pdf. It is easiest to have the instructions open on one device and complete the registration on another device.

Hopefully 2019 recertification will open in the next few weeks.

The in person session of the assignor clinic is scheduled for August 18. If you know anyone wishing to get certified as an assignor please have them contact me.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

The club pays $20 - $50 per game and it's a great way to be involved and learn more about the game.

To enroll in this training you must be 13 years old by December 31, 2017. Parents and any adult are also encouraged to certify! if you become a ref this spring, your liscence will be good until the end of 2018

The club will provide a bonus to any new ref from Durham or Middlefield who refs 8 games in 2018 (any level of games) equal to the tuition of the referee class

Training is done via online self taught sessions followed by an online open book test. Once the online session is completed, you will need to register for 2 sessions. The first session is a classroom session, the second a field session, both are taught by CJSA instructors. Each session is 3 hours, most sessions are held on the same day back to back. See the www.ctreferee.net website for full instructions

IF you become a Referee:

The club will work around your schedule: you will not be forced to choose between playing and referee'ing. You will work only when you are available

If you think you could be an AR but not sure about becoming a center, that is fine, every game needs 2 AR's and 1 center, some ref's specialize in being AR's and rarely center a game. You will not be given a center until you feel you are ready

You can only be a center for age groups 2 yrs younger than you, so if you are 14 yrs old, you can only center u12 and under games

You can only be AR games for age groups 1 yr younger than your age

For more information on the program, visit www.ctreferee.net.

For specific questions, please contact CSC Referee assignor John Bugai at jbugaisoccer@gmail.com
