Refereeing with Arlington Soccer Association is an excellent way to get introduced to refereeing in an environment focused on development and learning. Become an expert at rules of the game, get some exercise, give back to the soccer community, develop confidence and leadership skills, and make some money! If you are interested in becoming an Arlington Soccer referee, we want to hear from you!

Are you an adult with a USSF Grassroots license? Please contact Tarey Houston, our referee assignor for 7th grade and higher games. Tarey can be reached at tareyhouston@gmail.com  or Jesse Rosenthal, our referee assignor for Regional League and ECNL (globalprisms@yahoo.com)

Are you a youth/teen referee with a USSF Grassroots license? Please write to Arlington Soccer Referees at whistle@arlingtonsoccer.com and ask how you can be added to our roster of youth referees to CR 2nd-6th grade games. You should also contact Tarey Houston if you would like to ref games for older players.

Are you a youth/teen in 8th grade or higher WITHOUT a USSF Grassroots license?

You have two options.

OPTION ONE: (free) Open to 8th graders and older. Before each season we train a limited number of youth referees to ref 2nd grade games. These games pay $20 each. Please sign up now to be contacted when this free training is next offered. 

OPTION TWO: ($85) Open to those 13 years or older. At any time you can register to take the USSF Grassroots course -- the instructions are below. Once you are a USSF Grassroots-certified referee, if you do ten Arlington Soccer games directly with us in one season, we will refund you the cost of the training! (Games refereed with Tarey Houston or Jesse Rosenthall do not count, unfortunately.)

MORE REFEREES ARE NEEDED!
