It is important that you attend if you sign up. Last year all classes filled. Students must attend at least 5 of the 6 nights. The second week covers critical material. Comp Teams - the Grade 8 course is the entry level course and the one you will want to take. Current Grade 9 referees - This is a great way to upgrade your license with the full Grade 8 course. It will provide a great review of the material already covered in the Grade 9 course and cover most things in more depth. If there is enough interest we'll offer a Grade 9 bridging couse later in the year. Our District is planning a district wide Grade 9 bridging course. Keep in mind, they have never actually held one, and all Grade 9 to Grade 8 upgrades have been through a Grade 8 course. There is no cost to DYSL members for the course. Students passing will need to pay their $25 license fee on the last night. ($20 for Grade 9) The course is open to youth (age 13+) and adults. The passing rate for students under 13 has been very low in the past. Your time will come - I know you're dying to referee. If you know of other people interested in the course please forward this information to them ASAP.
