WAWSL and CCSL are sponsoring the following class for new referee certification in March 2010. WAWSL players who have never been certified to referee are required to complete a New Referee Certification class before being assigned any games during the Spring 2010 season.
There is a 10-person minimum, 30-person maximum for the class, so please register ASAP.

Students must attend all four sessions. Cost of registration and the class is $65, which WAWSL will refund to any new player-ref after they complete 5 WAWSL games.
**This refund applies ONLY to WAWSL player-referees and ONLY for their first annual certification.
To sign up for the class, you must complete the two-step online registraton process. Please follow the instructions on the State Referee Program web page: www.vadcsoccerref.com.
If you have a problem registering and signing up for a clinic, please e-mail Jessie Kratz.

posted 01/14/2010 The due date for deposits to ensure your team has a spot for the Spring 2010 Season is FEBRUARY 15, 2010.
In order to secure a space for your team in the division breakdowns for Spring 2010, we MUST receive a check for $100 made out to WAWSL by the deposit due date.
Checks must be mailed to:
Laura Polacheck
4141 North Henderson Rd. #1116
Arlington, VA 22203
____________________________
PLEASE include your team's name and division in the "memo" line of your check.
We can't always trace the name on your check back to the team it represents, so if you don't tell us who you are, your deposit may be invalid.
NO, this check will not be cashed UNLESS you fail to field a team for Spring 2010. This is how WAWSL ensures we reserve fields for teams who will actually show up for games.
WAWSL has a long waiting list. If you fielded a team in WAWSL last season, you are NOT guaranteed a spot for the upcoming season. You MUST send in a deposit. If you do not, we will give your spot to a new team.
If you have any questions, please e-mail your Division Director (e-mail addresses for the Board are located here).  |

posted 08/14/2009 In the event of inclement weather, please call the WAWSL hotline at 703-827-7907. Cancellation information will be available on the outgoing message starting at 7am. If you call after 7am and hear the regular sunny day greeting, then games are on as scheduled.
**Summer Session cancellation information will be available on the outgoing message starting at 5pm.
Do not assume games are cancelled if there has been rain or if it is currently raining. Game cancellations will occasionally be determined on a field-by-field basis, depending on field location and type of surface. Turf games will not be cancelled for light to moderate rain when lightning is not present.
Our goal is to play as many games as possible without damaging the fields or jeopardizing our permits. We often have to rely on park services and/or school staff to notify us when they are cancelling use of their fields, and they may not contact us until after 7am. Whenever possible, we will provide timely notification of cancellations. Occasionally, last-minute changes to the schedule may not be avoidable. The hotline will be updated as soon as humanly possible in every instance. Always call the hotline prior to your game if there has been inclement weather or if it is a possibility.
