AYSO Referees needs volunteers! Women and Youth (ages 12 and
up) are especially encouraged to volunteer. When women and
youth officiate at the Saturday games, it role models that
all people can participate and enjoy the game of soccer. Sign
up for the next Basic Referee course. No soccer knowledge
is required. The course is free and you'll impress all your
friends with that bright yellow referee shirt, etc., that
you'll also get for no cost. |
