Ben Reed will be hosting 1 final referee workshop this winter. These meetings will be held over Zoom, invitations for which will go out 24 or 48 hours before the event. Attendance is optional and no sign-up is required - just tune in! Remember, these sessions do not count towards your MSRC recertification requirements, but they are fun and helpful nonetheless. And if you do attend any, you will receive a bonus to your game pay for all games you work in the Spring and Fall 2025 seasons of $1 for each workshop you attend! Pretty cool, huh?

Here's the remaining schedule:

• Saturday, March 15th, 8:00-10:00 AM [Note new time!]

These workshops provide an opportunity to meet with other referees of varying experience. We will go over scenarios and basic information is that particular to ECYSA, including any updates for the upcoming spring season. We encourage referees of all experience to attend.
