The CCSRA Executive Board is currently building upon the foundations set in 2009 and are expanding upon its successful programs and creating new ones for our association to reach even higher expectations. 

The Board believes that you, the member, being a part of CCSRA, makes an immediate impact in providing a positive and fulfilling experience for all its other members and other referees in the community you work with. 

The primary mission of CCSRA is developing each referee to reach their individual goals and full potential. CCSRA aims to enhance several levels of the refereeing and soccer community in a positive and productive way. 

The CCSRA Board and its Members are teaming up together in 2010 and hope to assist each other, member and all non-members alike, with obtaining their personal referee goals.  

Here is an introduction to some of the proposed programs and events to come this 2010 season.
