What is a "trained referee"?
We require a trained referee to ensure that our kids enjoy a safe and
fair soccer match every weekend. A trained center referee is someone
who has become certified as a referee through an AYSO training
program. We offer a training course to become a
Regional Referee,
the first level of certification. This course takes about six hours
spread over three evenings and is offered twice early in the season,
so it's easy for volunteers
to learn what they need to know quickly. For details on these
courses, see our
referee clinic schedule.
All AYSO referees are volunteers.
For a wealth of information about refereeing, check out
our referee section. There is everything
from Laws to local arrangements to suggestions for how
to get in shape.
