We kick-off the spring with the First on the Turf Tournaments at the University of Guelph and 2018 will be the 7th year for the tournament.

Friday night games are planned from 5pm – 9pm as well as games from 8am – 8pm Saturday. 8am – 6pm Sunday of both weekends.

These tournaments are REP level tournaments and game appointments are targeting for experienced referees (at least one year experience).

If you are interested in officiating at this event please make sure that under Tournaments you have selected First on the Turf Boys and/or First on the Turf Girls.  You will also need to make sure that you update your Divisions as well as your fields appropriately (select all U of Guelph fields please).

Game fees are being finalized but there will be a slight increase from last year.  We will also be using 4th officials for Boys U15-U17 semi-finals and finals.  Officials will have the opportunity to be mentored over the course of the tournament(s).

We will also hold education sessions – observation sessions over the course of the tournament which are open to all referees including new referees.
