Referee Classes

EVERY YEAR
  • All referees must register and complete the volunteer registration process, including mailing in signed forms outlined at http://volunteer.ayso26.org.  The approval may take up to two weeks. Get started now.  
  • And, all referees must attend a referee clinic or refresher.  

For a description of the introductory clinics, please see Become a Referee. 
The more advanced clinics are described briefly in Become a Better Referee.

New Law books and Referee Handbooks will be available at all clinics.

Referee training offered by Palo Alto AYSO and nearby AYSO Regions and Areas are on the Clinics and Training Calendar, as well as detailed instructions on how to sign up for a course.  The locations and exact times are on the calendar events.

Meetings will be on the Regional Calendar.
