Attention Referees
AYSO requires every team to have a trained and certified referee. Referees who have
not previously been certified may attend a Safe Haven Certification course. Come back soon for
information on referee training, or contact the Regional Referee Trainer.
Primary Responsibilities
Enforce the AYSO Philosophies:
- Everyone Plays
- Positive Coaching
- Good Sportsmanship
Be Familiar with the AYSO Referees’ Code of Conduct! (Please read it.)
Know the Loacl Rules
Other Responsibilities
A referee enforces the rules of the game—of course! But our refs are also responsible
to see that the rules of our league are carried out. At the right, you will find
a link that will take you to the soccer rules. Here is a link to the five AYSO philosophies
(the ones noted above deal with conduct on the field, the other two are done off
the field).
Know Rules of the Age Division
Our younger players can’t follow all the rules. For the smallest ones, it’s a big
accomplishment to know what end of the field is their goal. We adjust the rules
accordingly. Refs who work in more than one division (many if not all of you) should
know the differences and how to apply them.
