The Montana Grassroots Referee Program is offering a two-day referee course March 19-20 at Columbia Falls High School in an effort to provide currently certified officials with upper-level training and an entry level course for newcomers or anyone who is interested in learning more about the sport of soccer.

On Saturday classroom sessions run from 8:30 a.m.—4:30p.m. Sunday’s instruction will be split with a classroom portion in the morning and training on the field from 1-4 p.m.

The course instructor is Jason Hutchison from Boise, a National Level AR and director of the Idaho Referee Development Program.

Those taking the beginners course, which is Sunday from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., are encouraged to sit in on Saturday’s sessions.

The cost is $15 at the door for adults 18 and over and free for those under 18.
