2026 Referee Registration is Open

Be on the fields opening weekend, start earning money and having fun.

 The process to become a referee is a 2-part process.

Part 1 – ONLINE LESSONS

Part 2 – Attend an In-Person clinic

                You can attend any clinic that makes sense with your location and schedule.

 Age requirement – minimum age is 13

Cost - $80 this includes both parts of the process.

 A 2026 badge will allow you to work the fall 2025 season and all of 2026.

 Some FYI’s

Part 1 must be completed in full before you can select an in-person clinic.

 Part 1 is a 6.5-hour session (for those 17 and younger) 8 hour session (for those 18 and older) all done online. Get it done within a reasonable amount of time of registration. This way you don’t miss out on attending a clinic that is close to your home or any of the actual season.
