Every soccer match depends on referees. Whether you're a current player, former player, coach, parent, or simply someone who loves the game, becoming a referee is a great way to stay involved while earning extra income, developing leadership skills, and giving back to soccer.
Getting started is simple. To become a referee, you'll complete an entry-level certification course offered by your State Referee Committee. The course includes the Laws of the Game, practical instruction, and everything you need to begin officiating local matches.
