I want to extend an invitation to all Iowa soccer referees, youth, high school, adult, college and professional, to one of the greatest learning opportunities in the country – the Terry Vaughn Referee Academy (TVRA).
The TVRA is the premier soccer training event in the state of Iowa and one of the largest single day referee training events in the United States. And, it's FREE!
Date: Sunday, February 21, 2021
Location: This TVRA will be a virtual Zoom Meeting.
Time: 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. CST (Sign on starts at 8:30 a.m.)
Guest Speakers: Chris Penso, Tori Penso, Drew Fischer, and Sandra Serafini
Our last academy was in 2019. Over 500 referees were in attendance! Go to 2019 TVRA for information about the guest speakers, their presentation topics, the schedule / format for the day, sponsors' offers, T-Shirts, … . You won't want to miss this event in 2021!
Once again, we will have a strong cadre of Referees and Instructors representing FIFA, PRO, and NISOA:
These distinguished speakers are doing this for YOU – all to help you become a better referee. The only thing that will keep you from tapping into this vast storehouse of soccer refereeing knowledge is you. Please take advantage of this opportunity and join us!
IMPORTANT: You must register for the TVRA by clicking on the registration button below. This is the only way that you will receive your Zoom link from Neverends for this virtual event.
Schedule
The academy will get underway promptly at 9:00 a.m. Be early – sign on starts at 8:30. 2, 15 minute breaks are built-in – one in the morning and another one in the afternoon. Breaks for prize giveaways have also been included. We will pause at 11:30 for an hour for lunch. Mentors and Instructors are scheduled to have a working lunch with Sandra Serafini.
