The Fall 2021 soccer season saw a severe shortage of referees across the Madison area and the entire state. To address this shortage we need YOUR help!

Now is the perfect time to  become a certified referee! Courses for new referees are now open and Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association is offering full reimbursement of the registration fee PLUS a 10-piece referee uniform starter kit -- everything you need to get up and running as a certified referee -- for everyone that completes the requirements by April 2022 .

Additionally, MAYSA offers a $50 bonus to first-year referees after they have officiated their first five league games.  And, referees who officiate 10 league games or more receive a $65 bonus after completing their re-certification course the following off-season.

If you were a certified referee during 2019, 2020, or 2021 seasons, you can register for the online recertification courses now. All of the recertification course content is in the Learning Center; there is no content in GameOfficials and there is no in-person or virtual component required for 2022 recertification.
