T-CYSA Referee Information

T-CYSA relies on a large number of volunteer referees (for the younger teams) as well as paid referees (for the older teams). It is the policy of T-CYSA that each recreational and Three Rivers team have an individual associated with that team be an active participant in the local referee pool.

Spring 2008 Referee Training

Pre-registration for these clinics is not required. Contact the T-CYSA Head Referee if you have questions about the clinics or game rules.

Grade 9 Recreational Referee Clinic

This 8-hour clinic is the minimum training recommended by WSYSA to referee recreational youth soccer for U7 and above teams. The class is taught over 2 days; successful completion of the course requires attending all training sessions and passing the USSF referee exam on the last day.

Course Fee and Uniform Reimbursement Policy

There is no cost to attend these referee training clinics. Individuals completing the class can register as a referee with USSF following successful completion of the course; the annual fee for USSF registration is $30 (Grade 9) or $35 (Grade 8). Visit the Washington State Referee Committee website for further information about registration and the various referee grades.

T-CYSA will reimburse referees who are newly-registered with USSF for the cost of registration if those individuals agree to referee a minimum number of games for a T-CYSA recreational team or serve in the Tri-Cities Soccer Referee Association (TCSRA) referee pool on behalf of a Three Rivers team. The TCSRA currently has a policy of paying the annual re-registration costs for any currently-registered Grade 9 or Grade 8 referee who actively participates in the local referee pool.

T-CYSA will also reimburse referees who are newly-registered with USSF for their costs for uniforms and equipment (up to $42.50) if those individuals volunteer to referee a minimum number of games for a T-CYSA recreational team.

The forms required to receive reimbursement from T-CYSA are available here:

• registration
