Referee Corner
Welcome back all returning Referee's and AYSO is a 100% volunteer organization so without Referees the games cannot be played. If this is your first year or your fifteenth year as a referee we want to thank you for your dedication to the kids. We need to ensure that everyone fills out a new volunteer form and goes through the Safe Haven class (for your protection) and that all Referees are aware of the law changes in effect. Please check for the Returning Referee Class or the Referee Clinics for the new referees in our calendar Laws of the Game: View FIFA's Laws of the Game at their web site. There are changes from the 2001 laws and you should check out their web site for yourself before the season begins.
