Become A Soccer Referee

 
Gulf Coast Soccer Officials Association (GCSOA)
 
Become a part of the solution! Soccer is the fastest growing sport in America … the children as well as adult leagues need your help … become a referee!

Common reasons people like you become a referee
 
· To make a difference in the world and be a part of the solution

· I love the game and want to become involved in its growth

· My kids play and I want to get involved

· I think I can do a better job than the ref I saw at the last game

· I could use the money

· There are not enough refs to cover the games. Someone has to help

There are various levels to become involved in 

· City Recreation – games through the city, referees are assigned through GCSOA

· Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) – games of the Catholic Youth Organization. Again, games are assigned by GCSOA

· United States Soccer Federation (USSF) – games sanctioned by USSF, generally Club Soccer, club tournaments, and adult leagues. Assigned by GCSOA or other USSF assignor.

· High School – Middle School, JV and Varsity – all games in Mobile Co. are assigned by GCSOA
 

Other points of interest

 
· Training and licensing is available through GCSOA

· Training starts soon

· Cost to get started is very small

· Can start as early as age 12

· It’s fun and healthy

I may be interested … who do I contact to get more information and address my questions? Talk to any soccer official or contact Miles Ball. I look forward to talking with you soon. Get Involved!!
