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:
Please complete these forms and forward them to the T-CYSA
Head Referee
for confirmation.
