Become a Referee


“If you don’t like what the refs are calling… become one yourself!” We say it with a smile — and we mean it in the best way possible.

Referees are a vital part of the game, and we truly appreciate the time and effort they give to support our players. We’re always looking for new referees — no prior experience required. Training is straightforward, and once certified, you’ll have opportunities to work games, stay active, and earn a little money.

We take sportsmanship seriously and enforce a zero-tolerance policy for poor behavior toward referees, players, coaches, and spectators.
