This past Saturday, the SRC hosted our annual NWA Referee Clinic in Springdale, Arkansas, bringing together more than 60 referees and referee candidates as they prepare for the Fall season.

The SRC extends its sincere thanks to our National Instructors, Greg Watson and Shane Kennard, for leading some outstanding sessions!

Shane wrapped up the clinic with an inspiring keynote presentation, "Seeing the Impossible," delivering a powerful message of motivation for our officials. It was the perfect way to conclude a day of learning, growth, and preparation.

Thank you to everyone who attended and see you on the pitch!

NWA folks! Reminder that our next First-Time Referee Course is this Saturday at the Springdale Rec Center. Great opportunity to become a referee and help out this Fall Season!

As USYS wraps up their Summer events; the SRC would like to take a moment to recognize all the Arkansas Referees who attended and supported events. These events are a great opportunity for our officials to learn and showcase their talents and bring back new skills to our leagues here locally! We also want to give special recognition to Chris Thresher, Carson Alston and Roxanna Robledo who were assigned Finals at USYS National Championships. Congratulation to all on this hard earned achievement!

Our Fall Referee Clinic is right around the corner and we're excited to announce or clinic instructors! Reminder this clinic is open to all; we will be conducting training both for first time candidates, those looking to renew for the 2027, and those looking to move up to the regional and national levels. This will be a great day of learning and improvement before the Fall season kicks off!
