&lt;br /&gt;
There is no cost for SSRA members. Now is your opportunity to get training hours, take your exam and get registered to referee in 2013. The registration fee for grade 8 and grade 9 referees is $55. Checks should be made out to WSRC (Washington State Referee Committee). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The clinic will be held at the new SYSA/SU office located at 650 South Orcas Street, Suite 220. The building is about three blocks from Georgetown Playfield. Here's a link to a map from the SYSA web site: &lt;br /&gt;

<pubDate>Thu, 22 Nov 2012 15:55:44 PST</pubDate>
<description>The laws of the games (HS) say, and we have been ASKED by the coaches to.  You MUST tell both coaches what yellow card or red card you gave BEFORE you restart the game.  You do not need to tell them what happened.  You need to tell BOTH coaches &quot;Yellow for USB&quot;, or &quot;Red for Foul and Abusive Language&quot;.</description>
