Our 2016 District fitness test is scheduled for May 28th at the Soccer Centre, 45 Fairfax Crescent, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. The soccer centre will be opened at 9:45 am 

The soccer center has been fully book since the middle of 2015. We have been trying to get school gyms for training. School gyms now require insurance for each person or for us to purchase their insurance, which is costly. An alternative to this is to use the Toronto Pan-am Sports Centre in Scarborough, which has the following opportunities at no cost.

Monday to Friday 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Saturday/Sunday 11:00 am to 4:00 pm

Free Parking and the use of lockers, however, you must bring your own lock with you

Since most of us live in Scarborough making this is a terrific opportunity to stay fit and keep dry. 

The address is 875 Morningside Avenue, just south of the 401

Dec. 19, 2015

 Dear Fellow Branch Member,

 At the November 30, 2015 Scarborough Soccer Referees Association (SSRA) Annual General Meeting elections were held for the positions of President, Secretary, and Education Officer. Following the AGM, the result for the position of Secretary was challenged. After an investigation by the branch and the SSA President, Jim Barnes, it was found that there were procedural errors. As a result, the SSRA Executive has decided that the fairest solution is to hold another election for the position of Secretary.

Two candidates have been nominated for the position and each has accepted the nomination. They are Ganesh Shanmugan and Chris Spencer.

You are receiving this communication as you were a member in good standing with the branch as of October 31 of this year. In order to vote in this election you must have already renewed your membership for 2016 or pay your 2016 registration prior to voting.

Voting will take place at the Scarborough Soccer Center , located at 45 Fairfax Crescent . Dates and times are as follows:

Thursday, Jan. 7th,   2016 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm

Friday, Jan. 8th, 2016 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm

Saturday, Jan. 9th, 2016 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm

Fairfax Crescent is one traffic light north of St. Clair Ave. and West of Warden Ave. There is a Tim Horton’s on the North-West corner of the intersection of Warden and Fairfax.

There will be no proxy votes for this election as there are three windows of opportunity to vote. You must present photo identification in order to vote. The election will be conducted and monitored by the Scarborough Soccer Association as a neutral third party. The SSA will also conduct the count and announce the winner. The result will be final.

The Branch Executive encourages you to come out and vote.

Wishing ever one a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Sincerely,
Leslie Wong,
President SSRA,
On behalf of the Branch Executive.

New video of SSRA referee fitness training in action released

Scarborough Fitness Training
A fitness training video clip was provided by Isaac Raymond. Fitness is an extremely important part of being a competent referee. It takes good conditioning to be constantly on the move during a match in order to have the best possible positioning to make the correct calls.

SSRA Education Agenda

Scarborough referee's association (SSRA) Education Agenda
OSA sent out to all registered referees the new guidelines for advancing to the next level up in their respective categories. In a nut shell, District levels referees must pass the OSA registration exam, attend winter education and pass the District Fitness Test. Regional and Provincial referees are aware of what has to be done in their categories.

Training cycle from Isaac Raymond

Please see attached training cycles that you may have already received from other sources. These types of cycles are used by top referees around the world to help referees plan their individual training needs. If you are not familiar with them you will need to take some time to review the documents and understand the methodology. This cycle covers 6 weeks that will take you to approximately the end of the outdoor season in Ontario.
