Become a Referee: For Teenagers

 Love soccer?

Refereeing allows you to stay involved in the game while earning money, developing leadership skills, and building confidence that will benefit you long after your playing days are over.

Being a referee is more than a job. It is an opportunity to challenge yourself, take responsibility, and develop skills that colleges and future employers value.

Get paid for working games on a schedule that fits around school, sports, and other activities.

Every game helps you become more comfortable making decisions, communicating with others, and trusting your judgment.

Referees manage games, solve problems, and help create a fair and positive environment for players.

Continue enjoying the game and deepen your understanding of soccer from a new perspective.

Become part of a team of referees who support one another, learn together, and share a passion for the game.

 Refereeing helps you develop:

• Confidence

• Leadership

• Communication skills

• Decision-making ability

• Integrity

• Responsibility

• Teamwork

• Resilience

These are the same qualities that contribute to success in school, careers, and life.

Refereeing gives young people a rare opportunity to take on real responsibility and earn the respect that comes from doing an important job well.

 You do not need previous refereeing experience to get started.

Training, mentoring, and support are provided every step of the way. Experienced referees will help you build the knowledge and confidence needed to succeed on the field.

If you're ready for a challenge and want to see soccer from a whole new perspective, we'd love to welcome you to our referee team.
