How to Become a Referee<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your journey to become a licensed US Soccer Referee begins here. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll start at home completing online compliance assignments<\/strong> (background check, SafeSport, etc), then move on to the online learning modules<\/strong>, and finish with an in-person session<\/strong> at the location you have chosen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must be 13 <\/strong>years old to referee. Start this process early<\/strong> as the compliance assignments and online modules <\/em><\/strong>must be completed before your in-person session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
