Becoming A Referee

Norwood Youth Soccer is looking for travel referees. These positions are paid, as well as a leadership training opportunity. 

You must be 14+ on the date of your first training course to quality to be a referee.

Signing up

There are three different websites needed to become a travel referee: MassRef, US Soccer, and BAYS.  You must use the same email when signing up for all three websites. It is heavily advised to sign up in this order.

Please refer to this document to sign up.

MassRef

MassRef is the state of Massachusetts governing body for laws of the game, and this will be where the main courses are taken for certification.

US Soccer

US Soccer is used to keep the standards of referees all across the country. This is where you will take supplemental courses.

Boston Area Youth Soccer (BAYS)

BAYS will be the website that you use the most once you are certified. Here, you can accept games and submit game reports at the beginning and end of each week. This is the direct connection that you will have with your town of Norwood, and Norwood Youth Soccer.
