GLASRA wants to help improve referees in the area. It's easy to feel that you're not being noticed out there. We now have more options available for observing matches... by your fellow referees. They range from low-key "evaluations" to formal USSF "assessments."

GLASRA now has five USSF certified assessors (Gary Garbarino, Dean Kimmith, Marc Lawrence and Brent Sorg). Our goal is to help you improve your matches, not to criticize. We'll leave the yelling to fans and coaches.

+ For
newer referees, we can offer constructive, basic suggestions on how to keep improving.
+ For
veterans, here's a chance for some "fine-tuning" based on peer observations.
+ For
ambitious referees who want to upgrade and get on the "fast track" to better matches, here's a chance for us to take a look at you. If you have what it takes and are willing to work at it, we'll help you climb the USSF ladder.

In the beginning, we'll probably just come out randomly and watch you do some matches. This may occur on either a USSF or high school match. We'll always let you know we're out there (before the match if possible). You'll get brief post-match comments from us and a written report either on-the-spot or in the mail later.

If you're looking for just an informal evaluation or a more formal USSF assessment, feel free to
contact any one of us.
