Note 2 - Remember that your login username starts with "R", followed by your 12 character USSFID.

YOUTH REFEREE PROFILES
|
|
Marabelle Burkert is the 2019 RBSRA Female Youth Referee of the Year. She has completed her first year officiating USSF Youth Soccer as a Grassroots Referee. She is in her senior year at Fleetwood HS. Throughout the spring and fall, she has had the opportunity to be center referee with the 3-man system and of course the one-man system.
In school, she continues to challenge herself by taking independent study courses in AP Environmental Science, AP Literature, and AP Calculus. Marabelle was also recently elected as Student of the Month by the Fleetwood Rotary Club. She played her fourth and final year with the Fleetwood High School girls soccer team as a starter where they made county playoffs. Moving forward, Marabelle will be majoring in Environmental Science at Delaware Valley University and will play soccer for the Lady Aggies! |

THIS COULD BE YOU!!!!!!!!
Do you recognize the guy on the left? This is Josh Encarnacion! Some of us have had a chance to officiate with him in PA games and tournaments. The Glenolden resident had the honor of being the Center Referee in the National finals game and is now an MLS Referee. He is third from the left in the below image taken just before his debut as the fourth official in the DC United v Toronto match. Josh is a great inspiration to young referees, as he began his journey not too long ago. He worked his way up through the Eastern PA mentoring program and became the Youth Referee of the Year in 2015. Josh is a graduate of West Chester University. Please reach out to your mentor, buddy, or RBSRA to find out more about RBSRA mentoring and/or the mentoring program that EPSARC offers. The sky is the limit...... |
SOME NOTES FROM THE ASSOCIATION
- RBJSL has switched their website and procedures back to their ORIGINAL website. Please save www.rbjsl.org to your preferences and stand by!!
- RBSRA highly recommends that all officials purchase a GREEN alternate jersey, to add to your yellow one. It's good to have a second color, if you are doing three-man games and tournaments. You will find that you'll use it more than a red or blue jersey and it will give a three-man crew the flexibility to use a second color that everyone has.
Young guy, old-style jersey. (no longer recommended by EPSARC/USSF)
Old guy, new-style GREEN jersey. (highly recommended by RBSRA) Please click on Official Sports link at the bottom of home page to order. |
