Fox Valley Referees
Referee at Campton Hills

This is the starting place for soccer referees wanting to get youth game assignments in the St. Charles, IL area. On this site you will find registration information so you can get assignments and begin refereeing. You will also find information to make you a better referee, tickle your funny bone, find additional educational resources, and keep you up to date on soccer news and developments in the world of soccer. Some of the site is still under construction so, check back often.

Ages and Times

Assignments are made for Boys and Girls teams from age U8 through U19. Most of the games are played at Campton Hills Park in St. Charles. Games are usually played on Sundays but there are also games on Saturday afternoons and some weekday evenings.

Primary Communication

Nearly all of the assigning of games is done through this website. There are occasions, increasingly rare, when you will be contacted by telephone. Generally, this is caused by "last minute" changes of some sort. Email is the preferred means of communication. Complete contact information is found on the Contact Page. One telephone method which is often used is CallingPost. This is an automated phone calling system which permits telephone calls to many referees at once. It is used to distribute essential information with more urgent deadlines. It is also used to provide reminder calls prior to weekend games. More information about CallingPost can be found by following the link at the bottom of the page.

About your Assignor

Bruce Bode is a USSF Grade 7 Referee with more than twelve years of refereeing experience in youth and adult games. I am also a USSF Referee Instructor. I have been assigning league and tournament games for seven years. My philosophy about referee assigning is that I try to find the best referee for the game while providing the referee with a sufficient challenge. I expect the referee to give his best effort at every game, regardless of the level of play. I also try to provide an environment and opportunities for referees to enhance their skills and further their development. To that end I encourage referees to upgrade and recommend referees for advancement through more challenging assignments in games and competitions.
