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 a number of local soccer leagues and tournaments. Candidates should be physically fit, emotionally mature, and must be at least 13 years of age. SCRA, in conjunction with the leagues, actively promotes the involvement of youth players in the game as referees. SCRA's program of evaluation, training, education, and game assignments will help youth referees improve and become better referees. It is also a great way to earn money!
