Becoming a referee is a great opportunity to support youth sports, get some exercise, and earn money.
Any child 12 and above or adult who wants to become a PAID referee, needs to take the Class 8 Referee Class different clubs will be hosting classes on the dates below.
Depending on the age of the game that you are the referee for and whether you are center or assistant, you can make $25 - $35 per game. We offer training and practice to make you a good referee. You can do 1-3 games in a row and make good money. Your referee schedule can work around your own game schedule if you are playing.
You will need to buy your referee attire but we will reimburse you the more games that you do and the more experienced you get.

Risk Management and Goal Safety:
Date: 6/18/2004
To: Santa Cruz County Youth Soccer League, Club presidents, Club Board Members Referees, and Coaches
From: Rich Rohde, SCCYSL Referee Coordinator
RE: Goal Safety
To all soccer players, coaches and parents,
The fall soccer season is right around the corner. This past spring a teenager was killed while attempting to move a portable soccer goal. This tragic event demands we assess our routines and alter them to prevent any such accident in our area.
The Delgado league has mandated that if goals are not anchored properly and cannot be corrected to allow play, the home team will forfeit the game. Locally our referees will be empowered to abandon any game where the goals are not anchored. This applies to recreation, Division 3 and Division 1 games.
Our focus though should not be on game day. Accidents can happen at scrimmages, practices or wherever the goals are not properly stored.
Please keep the game safe. Anchor goals properly for scrimmages, practices and games. Anchors can consist of sandbags or even player equipment bags (given they are overloaded as is often the case for extra weight). Lastly, store them properly when they are not in use. Goals are not intended to be playground equipment.
Thanks for your concern. Play safe.
A Nation United - Referee Flag Patch
From the U.S. Soccer Communications Department -- Sept. 22, 2001
As part of a program to remember and honor the victims of the tragic events of September 11, U.S. Soccer is asking all referees and assistant referees to wear the United States' flag on the left sleeve of the referee uniform. Both MLS and the WUSA have endorsed this practice. The flags may be worn on the uniforms until further notice.
- Usage Note: The U.S. Flag patch should be worn centered on the left sleeve of the uniform shirt, three inches down from the shoulder seam and above all other markings or patches
