Spring 2011:  Officials Wanted (See 2011 Clinic List Below)

Park 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.

The Park Ridge Soccer Association is dedicated to developing excellence in the programs participants. This applies to officials as well as players and coaches. Officiating is a great educational experience in addition to providing fun and profit.

Better players, coaches, and parents know the rules.
