Why should you be a Referee? | Links | |
Referees are as critical to soccer as players and coaches. In AYSO, the game can’t be played if there aren’t enough referees.
- What are the advantages of being a Referee:
- You look really cool to your kids, especially the young impressionable ones - You have the best view of the game! - You get great exercise! - You get a chance to learn the “Laws of the Game”, and help everyone abide by the philosophies of AYSO - You do not have to be perfect. No soccer experience is necessary. We train and certify you. - Refs get a free uniform (including the knee-high black socks) & meals during training! - Refs get to self-select the games that work with their schedules... games are not forced on them!
- Youth, (12 and up), can also referee. Here are the advantages:
- Becoming a referee makes you a better player armed with knowledge on the laws of the game - Youth referees can earn referee points as well to get to the postseason; - Hang out with other youth referees and earn incentives through our youth referee club; and - Earn volunteer credit for your school, scouts or other organization

What are Referee Points? | | |
Each team is asked to cover referee positions equal to what is required to cover their home games. Points are based on what is required as a region to get our games covered. Some games require the Referee to have a higher badge, and games at the upper levels take more time as well. We reward those that take the Center Referee position a higher amount of points per game, and we reward Referee’s that take games equal to their earned badge level. | | |
