New Referee Courses Open

Dec 13, 2021

Don’t miss the opportunity to be a part of the game, while learning and earning!

The Wisconsin Soccer Referee Development Program (WisRef) has announced courses for 2022 registration. Referee candidates who are first time Referees, or previously registered Referees who have had a lapse in registration may register for certification starting December 10th. NOTE: U.S. Soccer Policy mandates a minimum age of 13 to start the certification – there are NO exceptions or waivers to this U.S. Soccer Policy.


The total cost of the course is $70; a background check, if 18 or older is an additional $30 (for a 2-yr period). As an incentive to grow Referee numbers for the Youth game, the Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association (WYSA) will fully reimburse new and lapsed Referee candidates who successfully complete all of the requirements from January 2022 through April 2022. The reimbursement will include the registration fee and background check fee, plus a 10-piece referee uniform starter kit.


New Grassroots Referee Courses require a combination of independent learning and in person, virtual instruction. The independent learning starts in the U.S. Soccer Learning Center, is followed by WisRef content, and finishes with a WisRef Virtual online Zoom session. Total instruction time is estimated at 16 hours, with the final four hours being the Virtual online Zoom session.


The Learning Center and WisRef content can be done at your own pace, and during multiple sessions.  Once the Learning Center and WisRef content is complete, the Referee candidate will be availed of the opportunity to select the date and time for the Virtual online Zoom session.  The Virtual online Zoom session times will typically be 8 AM – 12PM or 1 PM – 5 PM Saturdays or Sundays and will start on Saturday January 8th.Additional times or days may be added based on demand. If  the Referee candidate is <13, or the dates and times of the Virtual online Zoom sessions conflict with your schedule, additional courses will be offered in August of 2022, however without the reimbursement or uniform kit as outlined.


To register to become a 2022 USSF Grassroots Referee please follow the steps as outlined here https://wisref.org/grassroots-new-ref-instructions/.  These steps are also available on the WisRef website www.wisref.org.


What do these two organizations ask in return? We ask that you commit to refereeing all of 2022 and registering again for 2023 minimum. We would also hope that you continue in 2024 and beyond.


In addition to the WYSA reimbursement and uniform package, many clubs and districts also provide additional referee incentives, for a minimum number of games worked in a season. Referees should contact their local Assignor for more information on these programs, once they begin assignments.

U15-19 NAL Boys Weekend Recap Bavarian United's U15, U16, U17, and U19 NAL teams traveled to Grand Park in Indiana for crossover games between the Mid America North and Mid America South teams. Each team played Lou Fusz and Indiana Fire. As a whole the club went 4-3-1 on the weekend with our U15 going undefeated. The teams look forward to a season of great competition and growth! Lost 2-1 vs Lou Fusz: Our boys played well in the middle third and dominated possession. The possession led to many half chances, but we needed to create more clear-cut scoring opportunities. Lou Fusz capitalized on their only two chances to defeat the boys late in the 88' minute. Won 3-0 vs Indy Fire: The boys were challenged to move on from the Saturday defeat, and our boys responded with a great performance. Building from the back, Bavarian created many great scoring chances through great spells of possession. The boys will continue to improve this Winter and are excited to continue NAL play in the Spring! 11 v 11 WOMEN ONLY GRASSROOTS COACHING COURSE Please join the 2024 11v11 Women Only Grassroots course brought to you by WYSA in cooperation with the Wisconsin Women's Soccer Advisory Council.

VOLUNTEER REFUNDS The Bavarian United Soccer Club relies heavily on volunteers to keep the membership and playing costs affordable. The volunteer fee can be earned back after volunteering four (4) hours with the Club. Refunds will be issued twice per year, in December and July. The Recreational volunteer fee is $100 per family. The Academy, Premier, and Elite volunteer fee is $225 per player. Volunteer refunds will be issued by the end of December to families that have completed all of their volunteer hours. If you have not completed all of your volunteer hours more volunteer opportunities will be available in spring and volunteer refunds will be issued by the end of July. The method of volunteer refund depends on the timing of payment(s): If your last payment was made over 90 days ago you will receive a check in the mail. If you have an active payment plan with installments at or above the amount of your volunteer refund(s) your installment plan(s) will be adjusted to reflect your volunteer refund. Adjustment can be viewed in PlayMetrics under 'Billing'. If your most recent payment(s) was made within the last 90 days and was at or above your volunteer refund amount a refund will be issued to the credit card on file. Refunds can be viewed in PlayMetrics under 'Billing'. For those with a unique configuration of payments a unique combination of the methods listed above will be used. If you believe that you have completed your volunteer hours but have not received your volunteer refund by the first week in January please contact us at info@bavarianunited.com .
