Becoming a referee can be a fun and enjoyable way to be involved in the beautiful game of soccer. Being a referee is a great way to suport the players in our community while making some extra money.
Certified referees work with competitive teams to ensure that the games are fair, safe, and fun. Certification is offered throughout the year and requires an online portion and one in person training session. Certifications are good for one year. Recertification only requires a shorter online training.
Certified referees make more money depending on the age of the players in the game. There is a center ref, and 2 assistant refs (ARs) assigned for each competitive game.
Please visit the Idaho Soccer Referee website for more information on how to become a certified referee.
Maybe you are interested in refereeing but aren't ready to become a certified referee. Our Youth Development league is a great way to get a feel for refereeing, make some money, and make it possible for younger players to be on the pitch.
Our YDP referees must be 12 years old, attend a pre-season training, and pass a short assessment about the rules of the game. Past playing experience is helpful, but not required. YDP referees make $15 per game reffed at N.O.P. and $20 per game reffed at Bannock.
