The Minnesota State Referee Committee is excited to unveil our updated MNSRC logo.  The design of the new logo focuses on "Minnesota" and "soccer referees".   The coloring of our new logo matches that of our new Minnesota state flag.  As the North Star State our logo also includes three stars inside a circle.  These three "North Stars" represent our crews of three referees that work most of our matches as well as the three teams involved in every match: the Home team, the Visiting team and the Referee team. Additionally, the new logo is a clear representation of the MNSRC support of all "soccer referees" working in the great state of Minnesota. We are proud to be soccer referees, we are proud to represent the state of Minnesota, and we now have a logo that we can proudly wear to communicate as much.

New referee class still has open spots and is available for registration. The class is 12/30/23 @ the National Sports Center from 9 am to 2 pm for anyone who wants to become a first time soccer referee. Info available on the USSLC and our home page, minnesotasrc.com.

The MNSRC wants to congratulate Dan Stupca who was selected this fall to become a National Referee Coach! Congratulations Dan!👏

This is so so worrying to see and we hope Anthony and his family are ok. This is why we believe organisations like the @LMA_Managers and the @PFA as well as the @WeAreTheFSA need to come out and condemn such behaviour in this country. Mangers comments and players behaviour encourage this and it is on a worrying rise where a serious incident or murder is just around the corner.

Anthony Taylor, the referee of the Europa League final, was attacked by Roma supporters at Budapest airport. 🧐 Shocking. 😠

“It benefits no one, truly no one, to criticize a youth sports referee. So, let's all just agree to leave referees alone. That's the easy part.” reformedsportsproject.com/blog/f/psa-let…

How many sports officials would not be abused if this was the general attitude to sports?
