REFEREE ADMINISTRATION

During the season, each age group (division) has a Referee Coordinator, who handles referee issues for the referees in that division. In particular, these individuals schedule referees for games where neutral referees are assigned and help coaches recruit and train referees for the younger age groups where each team provides parent referees.

In addition, the Region schedules field observations of referees during the season to help them improve their technique and increase their enjoyment when officiating. You can request a helpful, informal field observation by contacting our Regional Mentoring Coordinator. For observations and formal assessments for upgrading to the next certification level, contact our Regional Director of Referee Assessment.

The surrounding Area 2A and Section 2 of AYSO also have referee staff who conduct referee clinics, arrange refereeing for Area and Section tournaments, publish newsletters (e.g., The Diagonal ) and are otherwise fine folks.

The contact information for the Area referee staff members is listed on the Area 2A Staff Page.

The contact information for the Section referee staff members is listed on the Section 2 Staff Page.
