Fall 2019 Referee Training Course Schedule

Thank you for stepping up to referee and support our kids! Simply, without referees, the kids can't play soccer. We promise to make it fun and guarantee you will have the best seat in the house to watch a game. AYSO volunteers must complete the items listed below prior to attending a referee class or officiating an AYSO match.

Register as an AYSO Adult Referee Volunteer
All volunteers must register for Fall 2019 regardless if they have registered in the past. An AYSO ID# will be listed upon completion of registration and is necessary to be certified as an AYSO Referee and to access the online referee training (8U - 10U) at AYSOU.org. Use the Register Now link on the Region 71 website. New referees should select a 10UB or 10UG referee volunteer role. It does not matter which one. This will not limit your ability to referee any 10U game. If you select multiple volunteer roles, you will need to complete multiple registration forms. See below for registering youth referees.

Complete the online AYSO Safe Haven Course at AYSO U Safe Haven course is the same for all AYSO volunteer positions. This course must be retaken if your certification was prior to July 2017. Your AYSO Volunteer number is required to access any classes on AYSOU.
