GLASRA Referee Sierra Smith has been named this year's recipient of the Michigan Female Youth Referee of the Year Award. Sierra has been a referee since 2005 and since certifying, has refereed over 200 matches. In 2007, Sierra officiated at the Super 20 Finals held in New Hamshire, and the Super Y Finals in Tampa, Florida. Commenting on her award, Sierra said, "I really appreciate the investment GLASRA has made in me. Their training and support has really helped me become a better referee."

Other GLASRA referees honored this year were Dean Kimmith for his work in referee instruction and Franciso Villareal as the Referee of the Year.

On Monday, December 17 at 6:30 pm, a GLASRA High School In-service will be held at the MSHAA. All Coaches and AD's from the schools we serve have been invited. This session will involve active discussion between AD's, coaches, and officials, and is designed to help us focus on what we do well and what we can all do better.

Door prizes will be awarded to officials. Like all other in-services, this is not a mandatory meeting.
