From United Soccer Coaches:
United Soccer Coaches has declared 2022 as a year to recognize the contributions of soccer officials at all levels beginning with a “Celebration of Soccer Officiating” at the 2022 United Soccer Coaches Convention in Kansas City, MO to be held January 21-22, 2022 at the Kansas City Convention Center.
United Soccer Coaches (formerly the National Soccer Coaches Association of America; NSCAA) has long recognized the need to include soccer officials (Referees and Assistants) without whom the organized game cannot be played, into its extended family with the understanding of the importance of sharing common ground information as well as the need to improve communication, cooperation and camaraderie between Referees and Coaches which have long suffered from an unfortunate disconnect.
Classroom, field sessions, social activity with presentations by top instructors from NISOA, US Soccer, CONCACAF, PRO, NCAA, AYSO, ECSR, US CLUB Soccer, SAY Soccer, and others will highlight this first of its kind event.
US Soccer and NISOA Hall of Fame member “Dr. Joe” Machnik and former FIFA World Cup Referee and Referee Instructor Esse Baharmast will co-host and coordinate the event.
