* Remember that every team needs to have a referee representing them.
Having qualified referees present at all league games is always a concern of coaches and parents. Certified referees are needed for each soccer game, both for the safety of the players and for the players' enjoyment of the game. Many games in the past few seasons have not had
certified referees present for the game.
Two teams playing without a referee is a scrimmage, not a match, and
does not count in the team record. Like most other aspects of youth soccer, the availability of referees is completely dependent upon volunteers. Without enough volunteer referees, it is impossible to have a referee for all games scheduled. For this reason, the NWRGSL
requires that each registered team provide a certified referee who
will actively participate in the league schedule.
Active participation is defined as refereeing at least four league games
during each 8-week season and filing a game report. Teams who do not provide an active referee during the season will not be given permission to travel.
Referees can buy the newest
gear approved by the US Soccer Federation at Official Sports.

Referees earn a small
amount of money when they turn in match reports. Don't forget to
look to older brothers and sisters, cousins, and other teenagers to be
your team referee. Recreational soccer is a great place for youth
referees to earn a little money and gain confidence.
If you have not re-certified for calendar year
2010, clinics may be available
here. |
