On Friday, Nov. 16, 2007, Massachusetts Futsal welcomed United States
Soccer Federation National Instructor Trainer Jeff Kollmeyer. Although
the trip from Springfield, Missouri was long and tiring, Mr. Kollmeyer
was very excited to work with the many eager referees in attendance at
this year's recertification course.More than 25
veteran Massachusetts Futsal staff members attended the four-hour
clinic, which was also attended by Nigel Bright, the State Director of
Instruction for the Massachusetts Referee Committee.
After the course, Mr. Kollmeyer and Massachusetts
Futsal senior staff members: Jay Eidson, Soorena Farboodmanesh, Jerome
Kirkpatrick, Jason Miller and Eric Wharton met to discuss rule changes
for 2008.
On Saturday, Nov. 17, 2007, the entry level futsal
referee course was held. Mr. Kollmeyer led nine new officials through
the eight-hour course.
At the conclusion of the weekend, nearly 40 officials were certified to
officiate futsal matches in for 2008. Massachusetts wishes to thank Mr.
Jeff Kollmeyer, Mr. Nigel Bright, Ms. Julie Ilacqua, Mr. Andy Weiss and
The Park School for their efforts to make the courses a great success.
