Ladera Soccer / AYSO 1455 provides free training for ALL of our Referees & Assistan Referees. These classes are mandatory for all those volunteering to perform any Referee duties during the season.

You must be a certified Referee to earn Referee points for your team, and you must re-register for the Fall season, this is required every year.

Go to www.eayso.org and fill out a volunteer pre-registration form, it takes less than 5 minutes. Then be sure to bring 2 signed copies of the form to one if the registration dates so that we can complete your registration for the season.

There is always more to learn, and Area 11-L holds classes through out the year. The faculty for these classes includes many of the top instructors in Southern California. These instructors are all seasoned referees and dedicated volunteers just like you. The classes are fun, and are sure to make you a better referee.

If you are a senior referee, please encourage your colleagues to take these upgrade classes. It's a great way to build up our referee corps.

U9 and above teams are required to earn 20 Referee Points to be able to participate in the end of season Region and Area Tournaments. To earn points the team must have a certified Referee volunteer that is assigned to the team and they must be sign up for games using the scheduling system.

The Referee will earn 3 Points per game, and the Assistant Referee will earn 1 Point.

For example, with 10 games in the season, a team that has 2 Referees that sign up as Assistant Referees each weekend will earn the required 20 points.

Once the season is complete we would appreciate Referees also help during the Tournament as we will still have a lot of games that need your help!

AYSO has always encouraged good sportsmanship in its programs. In fact, "Good Sportsmanship" is one of the five philosophies listed in the AYSO National Bylaws. Ladera Soccer / AYSO 1455 believes strongly in good sportsmanship and fair play.

• Always remember that the game is for the players. Player safety and fair play come first.
• Study and learn the Laws of the Game and understand the "spirit" of the Laws. Help fellow referees do the same.
• Encourage and enforce the AYSO philosophies of "Everyone Plays", "Positive Coaching" and "Good Sportsmanship".
• Respect other referees' decisions, and do not publicly criticize another official.
• Wear the proper uniform and keep it in good condition.
• Maintain good physical condition so you can keep up with the action.
• Stay calm when confronted with emotional reactions from players, coaches and parents.
• Honor accepted game assignments. In an emergency, find a replacement.
• Support good sportsmanship with a kind word to players, coaches and parents of both teams when deserved.
• Always be fair and impartial, avoiding conflicts of interest. Decisions based on personal bias are dishonest and unacceptable.
