WHY SHOULD I BECOME A REFEREE?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We need you! There are over 60 games per weekend that can’t be played without referees. More importantly, it’s rewarding. Working with the kids is great fun and terrific exercise. Besides, you get the best seat in the house for your child’s game!
Every year we train over 30 new Referees to replenish our core of veteran Referees. Referees officiate only the games they want, by a call from our Referee Scheduler we guarantee the games and positions that fit your schedule and comfort level. Beginners usually start with the youngest players and frequently act as an Assistant Referee before being in charge of a game as a center Referee.
The more games you officiate, the more confident you become and greater your knowledge of the game. We support you with a variety of training programs and reward you with spiffs such as upgraded jerseys, referee bags, flags, and field jackets based on the number of games officiated.
HOW DO I BECOME AN AYSO CERTIFIED REGION 718 REFEREE?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Complete the AYSO Volunteer Information form (eayso.org) and attend a Regional Referee training clinic! The clinic provides both classroom and on-field training covering the AYSO Safe Haven volunteer protection program, the Laws of the Game, psychological and developmental issues for players of various ages, and practical refereeing. Each class includes a test covering the Laws and course material. Upon completion of the clinic you are an AYSO Certified Regional Referee! This is all the training you will ever need to officiate soccer within Region 718, although we encourage continuing training and grade advancement (see Veteran Referees). The AYSO National office is notified and keeps a permanent record of your completed training.
New referees are provided with the complete Referee uniform and equipment, including a jersey, shorts, socks, red and yellow cards, and a whistle. All you need to provide is a watch and black shoes. (P.S. white tennis shoes are a dead giveaway that you are a new Referee. Get some black shoes today!)
Go to our website http://ayso718.org for details on this season’s training sessions.

VETERAN REFEREES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Referees are encouraged to continue to develop their skills through additional training. Every year, returning Referees attend a one hour Veteran Update session (held during the new Referee Training clinic). Referees are updated on rule changes applying to play in our local region and discuss the practical application of the Laws of the Game to different age group situations.
Continuing Education opportunities include:
Grade Advancement – through additional training classes offered periodically, Referees can upgrade their badge from Regional Referee to Intermediate, Advanced, and even National grades.
Mentoring - all referees are encouraged to help each other. This mentoring can be informal between members of a referee crew, or more formally arranged with the Region 718 Referee Administrator. In addition, Region 718 offers:
· Observer-Friend program: Designed to encourage new referees, pairing them with a veteran to provide post-game advice on-field observation and coaching
· Mentor Nights: Period meetings held during the season for all referees to discuss game situations and management, clarify rules and practice foul recognition (contact Ref. Administrator).
Instructors - AYSO has an extensive Instructor training effort to assure that the teachers in our referee classes are the best available both with respect to referee skills and with respect to teaching capabilities.
YOUTH REFEREES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AYSO players and non-players from age 10 to 18 are invited to become referees. Youth referees earn community service hours (if required by school, scouts or others) please bring your paperwork to be filled for all training and game time, plus snacks! Contact the Youth Referee Administrator for certification hours and your snacks!
PARENT REFEREES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AYSO Parent referees are the core of our Referees organization. Parents are encouraged to help with our kids by referring their own children’s teams. We are always short referees and the last thing that AYSO 718 would like to do is cancel games do to the lack of officials
Compared to the REGIONAL REFEREE, parents are just required to attend 1 session of basic training and 1 session of AYSO Safe Haven (this session is available online). Training is always available and parent’s referees will receive a Referee T-Shirt after completion of the course.
We only require 2 games in the entire season and it can always be your child’s game, as long as you can be fair and make sure that Everyone including your child are having FUN!
WE ARE ALL VOLUNTEERS and as such, we want our parents to have fun with their kids and for the kids to see that Mom, Dad, Grandpa, or Grandma are helping them with their game you will always see a smile in their face .
Referees are not required to ref their own children's games, and we do not schedule you to ref while your child is playing. Your number one priority during the season is to give your full support to your child.
