Once again, Maryland Soccer Referees is working in conjunction with DC United and Major League Soccer to bring you two more Referee Days during the professional soccer season – August 22 vs. Philadelphia Union and October 9 vs. Toronto FC.  These are tremendous opportunities to see and hear from the top referees in the country and to discuss their thoughts in a small, informal venue.  You, as a referee, are entitled to special pricing for the 2 games and after the match, the entire Referee Team will come and talk with the referees in attendance.

Don’t miss out on this tremendous opportunity.  All information can be found here!

It was a long, hot (HOT!) week at Regionals. Maryland was represented extremely well and all in attendance should be proud of their accomplishments. The follow Maryland referees were honored with appointments to upcoming higher level tournaments:

ODP Finals – Rebekah Friedrich
President’s Cup – Peter Walden
USYS National Championships – Alex Luttman, Brett Lally

Congratulations to these individuals and to everyone who attended.  You represented Maryland in an exemplary manner!
