Referee Main Page
All referees must fill out a new volunteer form EVERY year. If you have not done so, please go to www.eayso.com and do so.

Welcome to the Region 56 Referee information page. Referees are an integral part of a successful AYSO program. Some referee because they want to be involved with the kids; others because they love the game; some want to learn about the game and some for the great exercise! AYSO is a volunteer program and at the center of that program are our kids. Our kids deserve the best we can give them, and having quality people who care about our kids and providing a safe, fun and fair environment is paramount. The referee, according to Law 5 in the Laws of the Game, is the final authority and ensures this environment. What better way to help our kids than by becoming an AYSO referee?
“I can’t referee, I don’t know the game!” Try again, in 8 hours we will teach you the basics to be able to AR (Assistant referee) a U9-10 match. And, when you feel ready, you can step onto the middle of the pitch and run a U9-10 match!
With some additional training we can have you doing U12 and higher matches.
And along the way, with an open mind, we can help you to hone your skills. We have several outstanding Intermediate and Advanced refs in region 56 who can help you improve your game.
