2026 US Youth Soccer Nationals
Congratulations to Emma Sicat!
"This past July, I had the opportunity to officiate at USYS Nationals in Murfreesboro, TN. Throughout the week, I had so much fun meeting and learning from high-level and experienced referees, national coaches, and professional referees from across the country. Each game came with valuable feedback from coaches, and each night we attended educational training sessions that gave us additional opportunities to learn, improve, and grow. Beyond the games and training, I really enjoyed getting to meet other passionate referees, share experiences, and build friendships throughout the week. Overall, it was an incredible experience that further fueled my passion for officiating and to continue growing."
