Reasons to Become a Referee

Games can’t happen without referees! If you are passionate about the game, become an integral part of making games happen while staying connected to the game that you love!

Help Create Safe, Fair and Fun Matches for Kids

The game is for the players, but without a safe and fair environment the game isn’t very fun. Be a part of creating an environment that allows young people to test themselves, be challenged and learn important life lessons as they grow.
