Cassy S: I really loved working with Michelle. She was really nice about everything, and I loved her support. It was a good experience working with a high level referee. I found it inspiring, and motivating, something I would like to work towards myself. I would love to work with her again. It was fun, and she did a really good job. Cailean W: It was a great experience to work with a FIFA referee first hand.  Michelle was friendly, supportive, helpful, and encouraged us the entire game. It definitely made us better officials to work with someone so skilled. She sets a great example of what can be achieved if we are willing to work hard for it. Catherine S: I found that working with Michelle was an amazing experience.  She gave me several great tips on what to improve on which I found extremely helpful and she seems like a very nice person.

Referee Annual Registration

All Referees, new and returning, must register with the British Columbia Soccer Association on an annual basis. As part of the NEW CSA / BCSA Referee Development Program, effective August 1-2007, all Referees are to be registered for the same annual cycle, April 1 through March 31 each year. All new referees are only able to register if they have attended and passed a Class 4 Referee Clinic.
All returning referees are only able to re-register if they have attended an annual Referee Refresher Clinic. These Refresher Clinics are held in the late Summer / Fall (between August 15 and November 15), which enables referees to register annnually with the BCSA. (example; attend a September 3, 2008 Refresher which allows you to perform your Annual Referee Registration for the April 1, 2009 through to March 31, 2010 season.)
