Welcome to our Referee Resource Center! We want to thank you for participating and supporting our soccer league this season, for without referees we cannot hold any soccer games. This Fall, we have over 1,450 children participating in the Santa Clara Youth Soccer League; that’s a lot of soccer games to run.

We assembled some very important information to share with our referees. Please feel free to provide feedback to make our program better!

SCYSL is offering an entry-level Grade 8 Referee Course this summer for people interested in becoming a referee.  Learning how to referee is a great way to really learn the game and also make some extra income on the weekends.
