Youth Referee Profiles
|
|
Above on the left is the 2019 RBSRA Female Youth Referee of the Year Marabelle Burkert. She has completed her first year officiating USSF and 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.
In school, she continues to challenge herself by taking an independent study in AP Environmental Science as well as 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 would like to study Environmental Science at Oregon State University or Delaware Valley University.
In addition, you may have watched the U17 boys national finals on television. Do you recognize the guy above on the right? This is Josh Encarnacion! Some of us have had a chance to officiate with him in PA. The Glenolden resident had the honor of being the Center Referee. Josh is a great inspiration to young referees as he began his journey not too long ago. He worked his way up to the Eastern PA mentoring program and became the Youth Referee of the Year in 2015. Please reach out to your mentor, buddy, or RBSRA to find out more about mentoring and/or the program that EPSARC offers.

Some Notes from the Association
- RBJSL has switched their website and procedures. Please save www.rbjsl.epysalive.org to your preferences and stand by!!
- There are a couple of local tournaments that are approaching quickly. RBSRA highly recommends that all officials purchase a GREEN alternate jersey, to add to your yellow one. 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. |
