STATE CUP REFEREE MESSAGE FROM SYRA - 3/27/2013

Aloha HI Referees,

THANK YOU for signing up to referee the HI State Cup, and thank you for those of you who attended the Friday 22 March meeting.

This State Cup tournament is not only important, but it is going to be very competitive, intense, tactical, and emotional; after all it is THE REGIONAL QUALIFIERS.  The State Cup is the tournament that most (U12 to U18) Girls and Boys work very hard every year just to try to qualify.

The State Cup will be run just like the Far West Regionals.  When we step onto the field in April 5-7 and 25-27, we must come prepared, and during this training session we will cover much of what is required of us referees, and all the little things WE MUST DO AS A REFEREE TEAM, in order for the State Cup to be a successful tournament.

I am asking those who did not attend the 22 March meeting to please try to attend the next meeting scheduled for Tuesday 2 Apr, 7-8:30PM, at either Leeward Community College or Aiea United Methodist Church.  I am waiting for confirmation of location, but wanted to get the word out.  As soon as I confirm location, I will remind all of you.

My apologies on the short notice, and yes, we all have day/night jobs and other commitments, but it would be WONDERFUL if you can find the time in your busy schedule to attend this very important training. 

Date:  Tuesday 2 April 2013

Time:  7:00 PM

Place:  Leeward Community College or Aiea United Methodist Church, 99-101 Laulima Street, Aiea 96701

Look forward to seeing you all,

Denis Delgado
