Welcome to AYSO 1335 Referee!

Referees are as critical to soccer as players and coaches. In AYSO, the game can’t be played if there aren’t enough referees. It’s most common for a volunteer to begin their AYSO referee career by refereeing their own child’s game. However, as they learn the rules, develop their own techniques for managing players, coaches and fans, and gain an appreciation for how important the role of the referee is to a fun, fair and safe soccer experience, they often find it very rewarding to expand their knowledge and experience through AYSO’s advanced training and certification process. AYSO’s referee training is considered some of the best in the U.S. and includes both in-person courses in your community and online opportunities. Soccer knowledge is a plus, but is certainly not required. The AYSO referee training will give you all you need to know to have a terrific experience on the field.
As a referee, one benefit is you are able to choose which games you will referee.
Youth Referee Program. This program is open to individuals who are 12 year old and older. This is a good way to accumulate hours toward community service. Youth referees are always accompanied by certified adult referees. Go to www.ayso1335.org to register as a youth referee for Fall soccer
season.
Training needs to be completed by the time games start after Labor Day weekend. All
equipment except for shoes will be provided. Contact
