Last season saw a 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 registration & course fees and background check fees for New or Lapsed Registration Referees (lapsed 2020 or prior) who successfully complete the requirements to become a US Soccer Referee for 2023.  In addition, through 12/31/22,  these Referees will receive a $50 uniform kit allowance, redeemable at Stefan’s Soccer.

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.

This is a great way to earn money, give back to the game, work alongside your kids and mentor them, make sure the games are safe & fair...and did we mention MAKE MONEY!
