Referee Certification and Recertification in Massachusetts   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #312 of 385 |
The Norfolk County Futsal League will host this year's annual
Massachusetts Futsal Association's United States Futsal Federation
(USFF) Referee Certification and Recertification class at the Dana
Barros Sports Complex at 31 Oxford Rd., Mansfield, Massachusetts on
Saturday, November 12th from 1-7 pm.

This is the only such USFF certification class to be presented this
year in the state of Massachusetts. All USFF sanctioned futsal
leagues and programs are required to use certified referees.
Attendance at the annual class is a pre-requisite to receiving
recertification for existing referees and for certification of new
referees. An official representative from the United States Futsal
Federation shall be on hand for the classroom instructions. The USFF
Referee Certification Clinic by Alex Para, President of the USFF
will take place from 1 pm to 5 pm and the USFF Referee Re-
Certification will take place from 5 pm to 7 pm.

In addition, this year, the director of Norfolk County Futsal
League, Bill Sampaio who is also the National Director of Coaching
of the United States Futsal Federation shall conduct a Coaching
Seminar that focuses on coaching in a youth futsal league from 1 pm
to 5 pm.

In a recent press release by Vincent Mauro, Director of Referees for
the USFF, he stated that, "Since 1982, U.S. Futsal has developed and
trained referees. Since 1983, some of these Futsal referees have
gone on to referee International competitions, and have also been
involved in directing the Championship Finals in the Futsal World
Championships of 1985, 1988, 1996, 2000 and 2004. The 1992, FIFA
Futsal World Championship had the USA participating so a U.S. Futsal
Referee would not have been eligible. U.S Futsal has taken great
pride since its inception to develop qualified Futsal referees. This
year U.S. Soccer has instituted its indoor soccer referee program
and decided to add Futsal to that program. U.S. Soccer needs to show
that it has a Futsal program, because it also wants to nominate FIFA
Futsal referees . Nevertheless, only U.S. Futsal Referees shall be
used on all affiliated Futsal games."

Interested individuals may pre-register for these classes online at

Referee Coordinator Loretta Chin by email at lorettachin@....

Inquiries may be directed by telephone to Coach Bill Sampaio at 774-
