Capital Soccer Classic
April 24, 2013
Pictured above are DCV Grade 5 referees who volunteered their time to officiate at the Congressional Soccer Game standing with Jurgen Klinsmann (left/in warm-up), US Men’s National Team Coach, and Congressman Dave Reichert (WA) (right). Also in the photo is Cobi Jones (far left), former professional US Soccer player.
This was a charity event held at Gallaudet University’s Hotchkiss Field to raise money for the US Soccer Foundation’s Soccer for Success program that targets kids in urban areas.
DALLAS CUP
The Metro DC-Virginia State Referee Program was well represented at the Dallas Cup that was held in March. Here are some of our referees standing with Esse Baharmast (far right in red), former US FIFA (1998 World Cup), who is currently working for FIFA as a technical instructor in the Referee Assistance Program (FIFA RAP) and coordinates the instruction and preparation of the referees for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. This photo was taken on a break following a clinic conducted by Brian Hall and Esse which was informative to all present.
