AYSO referees do more than just enforce the Laws of the Game. Their job is to make sure the game is safe and enjoyable for everyone: the players, the coaches, the spectators—and themselves.

• Referee training that teaches not only the letter of the law, but the "Spirit of the Game."
• Six levels of AYSO referee training.
• USSF cross-certification.
• Training for referee instructors, administrators and assessors.
• Youth Referee Program.
• AYSO referees are volunteers, so we want to be sure they have as much fun as the players do.
