Spring 2009: Officials WantedPark Ridge Soccer is in need of house league referees and travel team assistant referees (linesmen). This is your chance to participate in a unique experience, learn more about the game, give something back to the program, and make a little folding money to boot. We are an equal opportunity employer we take all ages (subject to minimum age requirements) and both genders. This opportunity is available through Park Ridge Soccer by attending the New Referee Clinic or the Experienced Referee Clinic, both are hosted right here in Park Ridge.
