Darren is an NCAA Division I football official and three-time Ironman. After teaching elementary school for 17 years, he decided to leave the classroom and pursue his passion for fitness. Darren was introduced to Pilates by his wife, Michelle, who has been practicing Pilates for over ten years. Reluctant to go at first, figuring that it would be too easy or not masculine enough, he soon learned just the opposite. Doing Pilates on a regular basis has helped him to increase his strength and flexibility, correct muscle imbalances, and prevent injuries. Darren completed the 600-hour training program through Power Pilates to earn his Complete Apparatus and Mat certifications. He is also a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, holds three TRX certifications, and is a certified Spinning Instructor.

Believe it or not, IT’S FOOTBALL SEASON!

Happy Friday Morning Everyone!

I hope y’all are well and safe. As it is looking very, very promising for a modified football season to be played this year, there are some items we will need to cover as well as revisit since it has been a while since we all met last. Please check Arbiter and/or your email for a Zoom invitation for our unit meeting on Tuesday, 3/9/2021, starting at 6:30pm. We will be discussing new rules understandings, Covid protocols, assignments and several other items. I look forward to seeing everyone on the call, as it looks like we’ll be on the field two weeks from today!

Totally Recovered. I think.

Ok. I’m pretty sure I have everything back up, bigger, faster, stronger than it was before–except for the 2018 playoffs; that I’ve lost. But, if you happen to come across any broken links or are looking for something that you can’t find, or if you have additional information that I can add to the site, please let me know so I can fix it. You can send me an email to webmaster(at)sgvfoa.com.

Almost Recovered

Alright, I’ve recreated most of the website. There are odds and ends here and there that still need to be created or updated, and I need to pretty it up a bit and make it a bit smoother, but the near catastrophe has been avoided.

Good News!

OK, although I accidentally deleted the old site, I was able to do an Internet archive search and found archived versions of all the pages. So, luckily, the only bit of our old information that was lost was information on the 2018 playoffs. That should be easy enough to find.

I was hoping to keep the old site up until the new one was up and running, but at least it’s not all lost!
