 How do I become an SYSL referee?

 
Anyone wishing to referee for SYSL, must play for an SYSL team and be playing U11 or older.  Aspiring referees are expected to learn the SYSL modified rules and procedures.  All new referees meet with the Referee Coordinator in August.  New and existing referees meet with the Referee Coordinator prior to each season (fall and spring) to review feedback and receive a refresher on expectations/procedures. Please contact the referee coordinator for more information.
