INFO FOR RETURNING AND PROSPECTIVE OFFICIALS - IMPORTANT
The Rapids are in need of officials for the 2024 season (and beyond).
*An important note: Several parents last year expressed concern about bias in officiating since most other teams have MANY officials on the deck and Rapids only had 1 or 2. The simple solution to that is to volunteer to become an official!
If anyone wants more information prior to the mandatory virtual training, please reach out to Jason (contact info below). Please read this email from Jason Young, DUSO Head official:
Welcome to the 2024 DUSO season.
We are offering two virtual official clinics this year which are
mandatory if you are not a USA/YMCA certified officials. You only
have to attend one of the two clinics. The first clinic will be held
on June 10th at 6:00 pm. The other clinic will be held on June 18th
at 7:00 pm. Both clinics will be offered virtually. The clinic will
be just like in years past; we will review the strokes, have a
question and answer period and finish with a short exam.
Please let me know which clinic you will be attending. Also if you
know of anyone who would like to officiate this year please pass along
this information. I have included a link to the videos if you could
please review before the clinic.
Our DUSO site has some videos which are important
