Being a referee is not for everyone, but it can be very rewarding and fun. Referees help the players, parents, and coaches better understand the rules of soccer. And, it’s a great way for kids and adults to earn extra cash!
NWCCSAY / Milford Soccer provides referee training class before each soccer season begins. The classes are taught by a certified ref instructor. Class participants receive a copy of the SAY National Rule Book. Classes are usually held close to the beginning of the soccer season (March and July of each year). Check our website for registration information and details regarding the class when it is close to class time.
The referee class is a 4 hour class, Participants must attend the entire class, including taking the certification test.
New referees will be assigned to candy games and/or higher level games with an experienced ref.
We require referees to be at least 2 years older than the children playing the game. The games for older teams are usually refereed by older teens and adults.
Games are assigned each week based on the game schedule, the referee’s availability, and the referee’s demonstrated ability.
