Are you interested in becoming a new Referee?

Referees are essential to the games!

If you are at least 11 years of age and interested in becoming a certified U.S. Soccer Referee you need to take an 8 hour course and pass a test on the rules of the game. The cost is $67.50 for the course and as little as $37.55 for a referee kit.

Certified referees are paid for each game they officiate, depending on position and age group. At the oldest age groups a center referee can earn $100 for 3 games.

Courses

New referee classes are typically held in Petoskey and Gaylord in each year March. Other classes are held at Central Michigan University in the summer.

Re-certification classes are also offered in Petoskey each year in December.

Specific dates and to sign up for courses go to Michigan Referees.
