Looks like the end of my officiating for a while...

I've got orders to Glons, Belgium. Gonna be there at least 2 years, and unless they play football instead of futbol, I'll have to live vicariously through you guys.

I am excited about going there, I'll just have to learn about soccer I guess

There is a lot of American football being played in Europe nowadays. They typically use NCAA and NFL rules but it is still "football". Don't give up hope yet.

Hi,

Welcome to Europe.

In Belgium football is played, and I nknow that they have a lack of officials. Last year our german association provided the games over there. This year I think they provided it by themself. So I think they need you.
Otherwise its not so far to Germany that you may contact the german association.

CU Uwe

Good luck in your assign. If interest in working in Europe, I know Dick Honig has some contacts over there because the last 5 yrs he has had officials from Europe come to his spring clinic @ Mich. State. It's worth a call or e-mail to Dick. He's a great guy. Use my name if you like.
