Referee Information

 

Region 922's Volunteer Referee Administrator can be reached at:  [email protected]

Referees are the guardians of the game, and are as critical to soccer as players and coaches since their role is to maintain a safe, fair, and fun soccer experience for the KIDS. AYSO always needs more referees; the game can’t be played if there aren’t enough referees. It’s most common for a volunteer to begin their AYSO referee career by assisting with their own child’s game. However, as they learn the rules, develop their own techniques for managing players, coaches and fans, and gain an appreciation for how important the role of the referee is to a safe, fair, and fun soccer experience, they often find it very rewarding to expand their knowledge and experience through AYSO’s advanced training and certification process.

AYSO’s referee training is considered some of the best in the U.S. and includes both in-person courses in our community and online opportunities. Soccer knowledge is a plus, but is certainly not required. The AYSO referee training will give you all you need to know to have a terrific experience on the field

New Referee Sign up

Welcome!  Thank you for your interest in becoming a Referee! Here are the 3 steps you need to take to become an AYSO Referee.

(1)  Click on the big red button above to fill out your volunteer registration fully (meaning past the electronic signature step) on the AYSO website hosted by Sports Connect. YOU MUST HAVE APPLIED TO BE A VOLUNTEER BEFORE YOU CAN ENROLL AND TAKE ANY REFEREE (or any other volunteer) TRAINING CLASSES.

(2)  Take the mandatory and relatively short Online Safe Haven, CDC Concussion Awareness, and Cardiac Awareness courses at AYSOU.ORG. You must have a valid Sports Connect Volunteer login to begin training.

                  Online Training at AYSOU:  https://aysou.org/default.aspx

If you have taken the online Safe Haven training in the past 3 years, this will satisfy the first training requirement (this training certification must show up in your AYSO certification credit in Sports Connect).
If you have previously taken the CDC Concussion Awareness course, this will satisfy the second training requirement (this training certification must show up in your AYSO certification credit in Sports Connect).
The Cardiac Awareness training is new.

(3)  Check our Referee Clinics section below to see the upcoming courses, and enroll in the one that works best for you. You do not have to take 922's course. Any AYSO-certified and taught course is valid.
