Dear Dominic,

The purpose of this letter is to confirm that the United States Power Soccer Association ("USPSA") is a member in good standing with U.S. Soccer Federation, and also to confirm support of the U.S. Soccer referee department for your efforts to solicit and train referees for USPSA's programs.

We understand that USPSA is currently attempting to recruit new referees to officiate power soccer games, including some referees currently registered with U.S. Soccer. U.S. Soccer strongly supports your efforts, and would encourage referees to consider this opportunity. To the extent any USSF referee has questions about the impact of participation with USPSA on their status with USSF, they should be assured that officiating USPSA games will have no adverse impract on their registration with USSF.

If there are specific referees or other administrators who have any concerns about this issue, please feel free to tell them to call me. My direct line is 312-528-1237. You should also feel free to share this letter with them.

Please let us know if you need anything further.

Sincerely,

Paul Tamberino
Director of Referee Development
