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. There is no cost to DYSL members for the course. Students passing will need to pay their $40 license fee on the last night. 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. In case the DYSL hosted courses are filled, additional courses hosted by area leagues can be found at www.d4ra.com/ref/clinics.html www.drra.com/ref/clinics.html.

There was not enough interest to form teams at those age groups. There were only a few players who preregistered online, so we could not justify the time and expense to hold a try out for 5 or 6 kids given that we did not have a coach for either team.
