Steps To Get Regional Level Referee Certification


Welcome to the AYSO referee certification page.  All of the information needed to become an AYSO certified referee can be found below, along with important links to sites that will help you along your way.  Whether you're a new volunteer wanting to learn more about the game of Soccer, or a seasoned veteran answering our call for help, we are glad and lucky to have you.  As you may already know, our National AYSO entity takes pride in keeping our children safe, and providing a fun and fair environment in which they can play Soccer.  As an AYSO referee you will have a first hand opportunity to influence all three of the above mentioned ideas, (safe, fun and fair).  As you begin the process outlined below, please don't feel overwhelmed.  Steps 1-3 can be completed in a couple of hours, step 4 is an appointment with Hesperia Park & Rec for fingerprinting, and step 5 is the fun full day training course that flies by.  Don't forget, feel free to reach out to any board member with any questions you may have, we are here to help.  Thank you!

Step 5

Regional Referee Certification Course (Various Dates/Times)

This is the training course that will teach you the basics of being a regional referee.  Typically this is a 9-5 style class that includes classroom and fieldwork.  Upon successful completion of this course, you will be presented with your Regional Referee badge and appropriate referee gear.  You will then be ready to build your confidence by working with some of our more experienced referees during Saturday games.  There are usually 2-3 local courses per year, most being in the late summer timeframe.  However, check out the link below for a searchable database.
