become a referee

entry certification


Herndon Youth Soccer is proud to have an outstanding group of professional referees who give their time, energy, and passion to the game. This dedicated team is made up of talented individuals from diverse backgrounds, and we are grateful for all they contribute to our club.

Across the country—and right here in our community—soccer referees are in short supply. That’s why we encourage parents, players, and volunteers to consider becoming certified referees.

As a referee, you’ll:

  • Join a respected and supportive professional community
  • Gain valuable experience and give back to the sport you love
  • Enjoy flexible scheduling and control over your availability
  • Earn extra income while staying active and connected to the game

If you’re looking for a rewarding way to stay involved in soccer, becoming a referee is a fantastic opportunity.
