There are two paths to becoming a United States Soccer Federation certified Referee: taking and completing an Entry Level Clinic offered through a USSF affiliated Referee Association, or by being certified as an AYSO "Area/Intermediate" or higher Referee and applying for "cross-over certification." Once you have joined the USSF organization, you will then join the SCRA to enjoy all the benefits of membership and to be scheduled for games. The Members of South County Referee Association invite you to join them!

Players and parents interested in learning how to officiate USSF soccer are invited to become referees. Successful candidates will be certified as USSF Referees, and will be eligible to officiate USSF-sanctioned games, including youth games in the Coast Soccer League as well as youth tournaments. Candidates should be physically fit, emotionally mature, and must be at least 13 years of age. SCRA, in conjunction with the Coast Soccer League, actively promotes the involvement of Youth players in the Game as Referees. SCRA offers free membership to Youth Referees. SCRA's program of evaluation, training, education, and game assignments will help Youth Referees become better referees and, hopefully, higher quality referees. BESIDES: it is a great way to earn money! The CSL Youth Referee Policy is as follows:

• A Youth Referee must complete a course of training and must be certified.A Youth Referee must purchase a uniform and keep the receipt(s) for that purchase.A Youth Referee must complete 10 assigned games as either an assistant referee or referee.The Youth Referee must complete an Application (see the home page for this site for a download of that form).

• CSL will send a check for up to $50.00 to the Youth Referee to reimburse the cost of his/her complete uniform.
