REFEREE ROUNDTABLE
Created for referees who regularly attend our weekly in-season
Referee Roundtables, we though it would be a cool idea to take things virtual with everyone working to #flattenthecurve and hopefully this helps alleviate that itch to be outside kicking a real ball ( ... okay, nothing can alleviate *that* itch!).
You can find the Referee Roundtable stream every week at the same time as normal Roundtable (from 6:30-8pm) on Twitch, by searching for SF_Youth_Soccer.
If you have a PlayStation account and your own copy of FIFA20, you can add TheBestLook7 and I (David Reardon) will go head to head with you!!
