Volunteer referees are a vital part of Region 2. They ensure that our kids have a safe and fun experience playing soccer. Our games are dependent on all teams providing referees. Please consider helping out your team and the Region 2 soccer program by volunteering as a referee today!!


Team Referee Assignments
7U/8U Divisions - Each team provides 1 referee for their own game

10U/12U Divisions - Teams are expected to provide 2 referees for the following game when they play as the home team and 1 referee when they are the visiting team.  Teams playing in the last game of the day provide referees for the first game of the day.

14U Division - Teams provide 1 assistant referee for the following game.  When the team plays the last game of the day they provide 1 AR for the first game of the day.  (B14U and G14U games are combined on the same referee assignment schedule.)
