Become a referee

Step A.   Sign up in the Learning Center

  1. Navigate to https://learning.ussoccer.com/referee
  2. Select “Sign Up” in the upper right corner
  3. Enter your information
  4. Complete the background check for those 18 years of age and older. During the certification process outlined below, the 18 years of age and older student will be prompted to complete a background check. This can take up to five days to process and MUST be completed before they take this course. Please complete this immediately upon sign up. These background checks will only need to be completed every other year. Background checks done with other organizations (i.e. Cal North and US Club) do not qualify.

  5. Complete the online training and test requirements. All Learning Center requirements MUST be completed at least 24 hours before the Field Session.
  6. Attend the Field Session you selected
  7. Your Badge will be given to you upon completion of the Field Session
  8. Once you have completed the entire course (online & Field Session), contact your local Club/League Referee Coordinator; this way they will know that you are a Referee.
