USSF Certification for Affiliated Youth and Amateur Games

US Soccer entry referee course level course is held electronically.

New York State requires referees be 14 years old or older in order to work as a Referee.

The three main parts to become a referee are:

1. Online Grassroots Referee Course Module, offered at the US Soccer Federation Learning Center (LC).  Registration for a Grassroots Course has an associated ENY ZOOM session

2. Zoom class led by an Eastern New York instructor. 

3. Field training session, conducted by Eastern New York Soccer Referee Association (ENYSRA), 2 hour, on the field.

To be admitted to the ENY zoom class, one must first complete the Online Grassroots Referee Course 

Upon completion of the Field Training, the student will order his/her referee uniform package (consisting of 2 shirts, socks, shorts, yellow/red cards, line flags, whistle, flip coin and carrying bag–paid for as part of the course fee) and join a local referee association, for example Westchester Soccer Referee Organization (WSRO) covering Westchester, Bronx.
