Refereeing with Arlington Soccer Association is an excellent way for prospective referees to get introduced to refereeing in an environment focused on development and learning. Become an expert at rules of the game, get some exercise, give back to the soccer community, develop confidence and leadership skills, and make some money! If you are interested in becoming an Arlington Soccer referee, we want to hear from you!

MORE REFEREES ARE NEEDED!

• Arlington Soccer will need NEW REFEREES for the Fall 2019 Rec season - it does not matter if you are already certified or not. We are looking for kids 8th grade and above to start this season!
• We will TRAIN new refs to enable you to referee second grade Rec games for $16/game. The training is free and will be offered in early September. Please sign up NOW to reserve your spot. 
• If you are already USSF8 certified, please email whistle@arlingtonsoccer.com to get on our list of referees
• Due to changes in the USSF8 certification process, new Virginia clinics are not coming on-line until later this year. Our training is a great way to break into refereeing NOW and start earning money and experience NOW. 
• ALSO, if you are already an Arlington Soccer referee and then get your USSF8 OR re-certify for your USSF8, we will refund you the cost of the training!
  

WE NEED MORE REFEREES to cover all our games.
