Youth Soccer Referee Certification for games played by MYSC players is administered by the Connecticut State Referee Program (CSRP) and U.S. Soccer.

New Referee Certification (Grassroots Training) is currently open.

Candidates for Referee Grassroots Training must be 13 years old as of registration date

There is a US Soccer referee certification fee (not sure what it is this year since the fee structure and course is different this year).  The referee will also need to purchase the uniform and necessary equipment.

Detailed instructions, registration, on-line courses, and in-person class options are all available on the CSRP website.  Please read/watch all the instructions and follow them step-by-step

Referees certified for 2021:

On-line recertification for 2022 is now open.  The cost is $55 + $20 for under 17, an additional $30 for 18 and older for background check.

Refereeing for MYSC:

Certified referees should wear the complete uniform specified by US Soccer; several acceptable uniform options (including women's fit) can be found at officialsports.com or other vendors

For new referees only, certification fees are reimbursed by MYSC once 3 games have been officiated
