Our congratulations go out to Louisville soccer referee Kermit Quisenberry, who has been selected to officiate at this summer's Olympic Games in Beijing.
Kermit, who now resides in Florida, is just one of six US referees who will be working at the men's and women's soccer tournaments from August 6-24. He will be an assistant referee in the 16 team men’s competition.
Kermit (39) got his start in soccer playing for Sawyer Youth Soccer in Louisville and became a referee at 14. It wasn't long before his potential was recognized by local USSF national referees Brian Darling and John David McGee, who mentored him in his formative years. He has officiated at numerous Major League Soccer games and international matches.
Kermit went to Male High School and Murray State University. He is now an athletic trainer and teacher at Taylor Middle High School in Pierson, Florida.
His parents, Estelle and Gordon, are long time soccer administrators and are heavily involved in the officiating program in the area, while his brother Mark is also a long time soccer official.
