New Referees
Becoming an AYSO referee is a four-step process. The first two steps are the same for all AYSO volunteers.
- STEP 1 – Complete your volunteer application. You have to be a "Registered Volunteer" to Referee or Coach. This is mandated by the state of California with a background check to verify you are OK to be around children.
Log in to our Region 677 and select "Register" or "Log In" if you already have an account, (top right)
Complete the volunteer application, indicating that you wish to volunteer as "Referee" (pick just one division so you only fill out the form once)
E-mail [email protected] so we know you are doing this process and we can keep track if there are any issues with the system.
NOTE: Complete details on HOW to become a "Registered Volunteer" are HERE

Referee Online Scheduling
THIS is the link to Referee Scheduling System. ** Ref Scheduler **
There is a link on that page to register if you are not yet part of the Online Ref Schedule System.
Note: The online Referee Scheduling system has nothing to do with AYSO or being a Registered Volunteer. The online Referee Scheduler is an online database that Region 677 uses so that referees can schedule their matches. You have to be a Certified Referee to use the system.
