Become a Referee

Greater Longview Soccer Association will host 2 referee in-person clinics per year.  One will be in August before the start of the new fall season and then the 2nd will be in February before the start of spring season.

 

GLSA members, players and coaches are encouraged to contact Matthew Allen at longviewreferees@gmail.com about any upcoming clinics or other referee related questions.

 

 

How to Become a USSF Referee – Requirement – you must be 13 or older.

  • There is two-part process that must be completed to become a licensed USSF Referee.
  • Sign up for a Referee online course. You will pay the fee when you sign up.

Part 1 – Sign up for the Referee Online Lessons via OMS

There are 6 modules in the online portion. All 6 modules must be completed in full. The online lessons take approximately 6-7 hours to complete.

Part 2 – Select an in-person clinic to attend

Once you complete the entire online lessons, you’ll be able to select an in-person clinic to go to on OMS. You will see the words – ONLINE LESSONS COMPLETED highlighted in green to know that you can select the in-person clinic you wish to attend.

The in-person clinic is 3.5 hours. This is the field session done outdoors.

Lots of important information is given to all attendees – who you will work for, how to get games, where to get uniforms, etc.

You must complete both parts in order to become a referee.
