VUSL’s website has plenty of resources for referees, including pay, how games are assigned, and training and development. Be sure to check out these resources and familiarize yourself with your job both on and off the field.
Ontario Soccer also has resources and information for prospective, new, and experienced referees. They also have information on Respect in Sport (under Annual Registration).
To check for the most up-to-date course information and to register for a course, please go to RefCentre.
Our district is the Eastern Ontario District Soccer Association.
All Level 4-10 Match Officials are required to have Respect in Sport Certification. Level 4 begins with Entry Level. If you are taking the Entry Level course this year, you must also take RIS.
Those re-registering from past years will not be able to complete registration without proof of certification.
