01/04/12: Important information for Premier League referees can be found here.
12/02/11: If you will be working at Tournaments (or would like to) this winter and spring (All-Star, Extra League or other tournaments), then please read our Tournament Referee Opportunities document on the Returning Referees page for some important information and suggestions.
New Upgrade Clinics are available from Area E and Section 10. See the Training & Upgrades page.
Game Cards are an official record of each game that we are required to have. This applies to
ALL divisions except U6. Please fill them out correctly. For details, click here:
Game Card Info.
Note: For Divisions U10 and up, it is very important to get the scores recorded correctly on BOTH cards because they
may affect the standings in a tie-breaker situation. (It is important to get them correct in U7 and U8 too, however,
we do not have standings for those divisions. Still, it is good practice for refereeing the higher divisions.)
The Referee Resources page has been updated with some important information and Directives for Region 9. Please take a few minutes to look them over as they affect every game played in Region 9.
If you do need to replace part or all of your referee uniform, please use our Referee Uniform Form, or contact Gary Bell directly at Refuniforms@ayso9.org
Region 9 is proud of our referees and the Referee Program continually seeks to improve the quality of officiating for all AYSO matches to which we are assigned. Our dedicated volunteers referee for the players, for the spectators, and for the Good of the Game.
As a Referee, you are a very important part of the "AYSO Team". Along with Coaches and Parents, you play a vital role in making sure that each child has a Fun, Safe and Fair experience in our soccer program.
Any AYSO game (other than U6) cannot be played without a properly trained and registered AYSO Referee! In Region 9, every U7 - U14 team is required to have at least one Team Referee (although more is better!). For U7 and U8 games, the Team Referee will officiate their own team's game (thus their will be two referees for the game, one from each team). The U10, U12 & U14 games have three neutral officials: A Center Referee and two Assistant Referees. Team Referees do NOT officiate their own games in those divisions.

Congratulations!...to Deb Tomlinson on her successful upgrade to Intermediate Referee!
