Money making during the off season

[southpolevaultzx]

If you want a way to earn money and cross-train during the off season, become a soccer referee. It is good pay, and you run around enough to equate one day's ref-ing to one practice (Assuming you referee at least 2 adult or 3 kids games) Contact your local soccer association for more information. I know everywhere is always looking for people to become refs. http://www.ussoccer.com/templates/inclu ... inHdbk.pdf
that is the web site for the rules, and it might have some links if you look hard enough.

Yes, I am a ref who is desparately trying to recruit more for when fall soccer starts up.

Tip: try not to ref games of kids under 14 years old. The parents can get pretty nasty, let alone they usually have no clue what is going on anyways.

About 4 years ago I had to kick a parent out of a 6 year old game because he was yelling about a slide tackle that I shouldnt have called..... Thats about when I started to become disgusted with soccer

I ref soccer also, and it is AWSOME.. great money (at least around here) and it fits aroudn training, sicne you just sign up for games whenever you need the money.. (again, at least aroudn here)..

here in mobile, it's about $15 bucks a game for CYO; USSF games are varied, but between 15-40/ref currently i am a fulltime ref...i work about 3hours a day, 5 days a week and am making over 250

I ref games in the fall for the local little league sports group. They pay us $10 a game for U10 and below and $15 for U12 and up. I don't mind what age group I get. The older kids are more fun to watch and there are more calls made, but you can fit almost 2 like U6 or U8 games in the time one of the older games takes place. The great thing is that those only take place on sundays and a saturday once in a great while, but sometimes I will do 7 or 8 games in one day and that gets to be a long day.
