ATTENTION: ALL REFEREES
The Arkansas State Soccer Association
requires that all volunteers, coaches and referees fill out a Volunteer Disclosure
Form each year. I was unaware of the yearly requirement until very
recently. I need every referee, assignor, instructor and assessor over the
age of 18 to fill out this VDF just as quickly as possible. Because we are
in a catch up mode, you will be prompted to fill one out through the local
assignors and each time you sign up for a tournament. We will filter this
when we do re-certifications. In the meantime, fill one out every time
asked and we’ll be sure to get you entered in the database. The link is: https://www.arksoccer.net/referees/RmDisclosure.php
Thanks for your help,

New Positions on the SRC
Are you a Latino referee who is sometimes
frustrated with the communication process concerning USSF and Arkansas
Referee policies? Confused, by what you need to do to upgrade? In our
continuing effort to facilitate communication, the State Referee Committee has added two new positions
to our committee. The SRC has added Rigo Chavez and Oscar Orellano as
Referee Liaisons for the Latino referee community.
Rigo has been performing in this capacity
for some time, especially in the Central Arkansas
area where he lives. However the SRC recognized the need to ease some of
the work on Rigo and to have a local presence in the Northwest section of
our state, so we have asked Oscar Orellano for his help. Both Rigo and
Oscar are State Level referees, who work youth and amateur matches and
attend recertification and new classes around the state.
These guys are here to help in whatever
capacity they can. If you have any questions, then please address them to
either of these two gentlemen. They can help explain the USSF policies or
can get you answers to your questions. We should have their pictures and
email addresses on the website soon. Join us in welcoming them and, please,
put them to work for you.
