New Referees (posted 6/23/2009)

We have two levels of Referees

U8: The U8 class is 4 hours and covers basic game control. This class qualifies you to center U7 and U8 games. Uniforms are provided in class when you pass the test.

Regional – The Regional referee class is 8 hours and covers all the “Laws of the Game”. This qualifies you to referee all regional games. We encourage you to start as an Assistant Referee and when you feel ready, center U10 games to gain experience.

If you are already a U8 Referee you only need to attend the second 4 hours of class.

AYSO
Mission Statement
& Philosophies

The mission of the American Youth Soccer Organization is to develop and deliver quality youth soccer programs where everyone builds positive character through participation in a fun, family environment based on the AYSO philosophies:

Everyone Plays
The goal is for our kids to play soccer. Every player on every team must play at least half of every game.
Balanced Teams
All teams are as evenly balanced as possible - because it's more fun when teams of equal ability play.
Positive Coaching
The way to make winning kids is by building them up, not down. Our coaches, referees, and parents are trained to offer positive help and encouragement to our players, rather than negative criticism.
Open Registration
Our programs are open to all children between the ages of 4 and 18 who want to register and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are all a child needs to play.
Good Sportsmanship
We desire to create a positive environment based on mutual respect, rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude. All programs are designed to instill good sportsmanship in every aspect of AYSO.
