Thank you

Welcome New and Returning Truckee AYSO Referees!

Hi all! We need your help! Without a referee our kids’ games are just scrimmages. AYSO trainings teach you everything you need to know to be a referee! All you need is a desire to help, we will handle the rest.

We recognize that becoming a referee can be intimidating. We are here for you! At AYSO we foster a culture of positive coaches, positive spectators, and fun for kids. Referees are a HUGE part of AYSO’s mission to enrich childrens’ lives. Referees are at our games to make them “safe, fair and fun”.

We have a level of referee for you! Whether it’s refereeing 8U kids, being an Assistant Referee (AR) or being a Referee for our older kids, we need you! We are currently recruiting new and returning referees, see below.

Signup as a volunteer referee here, or email [email protected] to learn more.

Our Referee Instructor

Our returning Referee Instructor, Steve Anderson, is extremely motivated to put a trained referee at every game. Steve is a Referee Trainer, Coach, and dedicated Truckee soccer parent. He is excited to work with our youth and parents to continue to take our referee program to the next level. Steve has developed incentives for youth and adult referees and will be holding a pre-season meeting and mid-season meeting to gather our referees for support, food and fun. Volunteering as a referee is a great way to give back to the Truckee Soccer Community. You can pick up games whenever you can. With our easy scheduling system, you can simply pick the games you are able to referee. You can reach Steve by email with any questions, any time, at [email protected]. Training dates are posted below!

Become a Referee

How to Become a Truckee AYSO Referee in 4 easy steps

Step 1 – Register as an AYSO Volunteer

All referees must register as volunteers annually. Youth volunteers (ages 10-17) will need a parent or guardian to complete the online volunteer process for them. Register online as a Volunteer with AYSO at www.truckeeayso.org, follow the links and fill out the volunteer registration form and background check. NEW this year is the fun of getting your fingerprints taken. Come out to the new Rec Center coach meetings on Thursday 8/18, and give up yo' prints! It's to keep the kids safe!!

Step 2 – Complete Volunteer classes (~3.5 hours online)

All new referees must complete AYSO volunteer training:

Step 3 – Complete online Referee training (2.5 hours)

All new Referees must complete the "Regional Referee" course requirements to earn their Regional Referee badge. Take the course called "Regional Referee - Online + In-Person Companion Course (2 part bundle)". Complete all chapters, take the Final Exam, then download and print your Certificate of Completion.

After you pass the online test, register for the classroom companion course on AYSOU. Choose the date you would like to take the course. Make sure you are registering for the Truckee Region 740 Course, by typing 740 into the search bar on the top left.

We will provide in-person training coupled with the online Regional Referee Training Course. The in-person trainings will be short, 2 to 2.5 hour trainings consisting of basic field training, recap of the online training, and a massive bonanza of gear pickup.

The trainings will meet at Riverview Sports Park Pavilion, Truckee, CA at 5:30pm for an Assistant-Referee (AR) flag recap and field positioning. Then we'll move to a TBD meeting room at the Truckee Airport for a brief recap of your online course.

You must bring:

  • Printed copy of your Certificate of Completion of Online Regional Referee Course
  • A pair of tennis shoes
  • A great attitude

All referee equipment, uniform, and bag will be given to each new referee at the in-person training.

See you on the field or in class!!
