UPDATED - UPDATED - UPDATED - UMBRO KIT DEAL

February 22, 2012

Dear Referees,

After some great discussion with the CSA, and the submission of an official request (from the OSA Referee Department), the CSA and OSA have come to a mutual agreement for the use of Umbro kits in 2012.

2012 referees assigned to Provincial level competitions (Ontario Cup, Ontario Summer Games etc.) will be permitted to use RED as the third kit colour.  The referees must first wear black or yellow, and red will be a distant third choice.

In 2013 the third colour will be BLUE at Provincial competitions, red will not be permitted.

2012 referees assigned to National level competition, yellow and black Umbro will be MANDATORY. Kit version is not as important as manufacturer; some referees will have 2010 kits, some 2011, and the 2012 kit is called the Premiership2 kit - any of these are acceptable. If the CSA determines a third colour will be needed at National Competition it will be BLUE. The CSA will ensure prior to the competition that there is no clash with team colours and the two designated referee kit colours of yellow and black, so the use for a third colour will be extremely minimal.

There is talk of a whole new kit being developed by Umbro for referees in 2013, this is why we appealed to the CSA not to change our third colour for Provincial competitions in 2012. I will keep you updated towards the start of 2013.

Thank you all for your patience, and have a great season. Click on the link below for the order form.

REFEREE REGISTRATION CHANGES FOR 2012 ā EXCITING AND INNOVATIVE

In 2012, the OSA Referee Department has taken on an exciting initiative with the goal being to improve the Annual Referee Registration Process ā to make if faster and more efficient and to reduce the number of steps involved.

In 2011 staff averaged 500 emails and 25 to 45 voice mails per day during the registration season.  The majority of these were password resets, payment issues or the confusion with the sometimes challenging online registration process - definitely an inefficient process at that point.

After the registration season we sat down as a department and performed an efficiency analysis that made us even more aware of what needed to be improved.  As we all know, change takes time, and after meetings, presentations and discussion, on February 16, 2012 our proposal was approved.  This timing means us opening 2012 registration on or about March 1, 2012. 

The Ontario Soccer Association Referee Department is pleased to announce that in 2012, E2E RefCentre will be hosting Referee registration.  As E2E RefCentre also provides us with course management, assigning, assessing, evaluating, scheduling, reporting and referee communication modules this will allow all referee data and processes to be in one robust integrated system accessible by all who need it.

There will be 3 registration and payment options in 2012:

a.        Online registration and payment via credit card, no additional fees will apply

b.       Online registration with cheque payment.  Registration will be āpendingā until cheque is received by OSA, additional $5.00 processing fee may apply and will be a 1-2 week delay on registration

c.        Mail in registration form and cheque/cash payment:  will be a minimum of 2-3 week turnaround, additional $10.00 processing fee may apply

 

Registration Fees for 2012

All registration fees have increased by approximately 3.5% in 2012.

Youth                                                            $26.00

District U18                                               

$42.00

  District                                                         $83.00

  Regional                                                       $134.00

  Provincial                                                     $134.00

  National                                                       $185.00

                       FIFA                                                                   $185.00

This is an exciting time for the Referee Department and Community.  By creating more efficiency, we can concentrate on Development programs moving forward.   As with all change we are going to face challenges, we just ask you all to be patient during this time.  Please keep an eye on your emails for any updates, and please donāt send emails with questions at this point, a user guide will be posted by RefCentre in the next week to 10 days.
