There will be a class for new referees on
January  17th, 2026. at the SJYSA Soccer Building.          2507 N. Riverside Road    If you are 13 years old, you can become a SJYSA referee.  We also welcome high school students and adults to join our referee team.  The pay scale . starts at $15 per game for U8 and up to $30 per game for U15. 

There are procedures you need to follow before the class on January 17th..  There are 25 training modules you will need to complete before the class.   Below is more information.  Please email us with any questions at:  [email protected]

NEW REFEREES

All new referees should now start the process at our new registration site, you will sign up on "New Member Registration" if you are brand new or are returning to refereeing after more than 3 years away. After your profile is complete, while you can see all the clinics, you must choose Outdoor Entry Referee Online Lessons FIRST.  You want just this Online link first, so that after your payment you can get access to the 25 online training modules that are a prerequisite for the in-person course.  ONLY after you have successfully completed all 25 modules will a new green button/box appear that says "Pick a Clinic".  That's when you decide what roster you want to be on and where you want to attend the in-person class and hands on field training.   All the 25 modules must be completed before the posted cutoff date of each clinic, at midnight the night before the clinic, in order to be able to get put on the specific clinic roster. After midnight the system won't let anyone be added to the roster.  Any roster has a cutoff date so the sooner you can get your 25 modules done, the better.  Here is the link to get you started;    https://mrdp.org/ 

The entry in-person clinic consists of both classroom and hands-on field training.  Here is the link to register for the class: https://mrdp.org

Current referees who need to do their recertification will be January 17th from 2-5.  You will need to sign up and do the online courses first.

Thank you
SJYSA
