BE A SOCCER Referee!

As you probably know, WESCO United needs more referees!  You can help if you are over 13 and want to learn the Laws of The Game! We pay our referees for each game worked and provide those who complete the training class with most of the necessary gear.

WESCO does not currently have an in-person class scheduled however there are other classes around the area that you can take.  In order to attend the in-person portion of the training, you must start the process online and complete an online training which can take approximately 6-8 hours.

We provide whistles, game books (red/yellow card books), a match coin to all who complete the class.  We also provide an official referee jersey (yellow) and AR flags to those who will be refereeing with WESCO. Please join us and learn the laws of the beautiful game!

If you have any questions and becoming a referee or how to get added as a WESCO referee, please email ref@wescosoccer.org.
