Referee Training ⚽
Learn How to Become an Assistant Referee (AR)
Interested in learning more about the game and supporting LNYSA in a meaningful way? Each season, parents, players, and volunteers step
onto the field as Assistant Referees (ARs)—and many quickly become confident contributors to match day success.
Most volunteers begin by attending LNYSA’s one-hour, on-field Assistant Referee training class. It’s simple, approachable,
and a great way to get involved.
Player parents: Serving as an Assistant Referee during games this season can fulfill your volunteer commitment
within our community-supported organization.
Why Become an Assistant Referee?
- ✔ Learn the Laws of the Game from a new perspective
- ✔ Support fair play and a positive match environment
- ✔ Give back to the LNYSA community
- ✔ Fulfill your volunteer requirement in a meaningful way
- ✔ No prior refereeing experience required
Already certified referees are welcome to attend these classes as a refresher.
