Region 870
Referees are an important part of our games, and being a ref is fun! Refs get the best seat in the house, and we provide the uniforms and all the training you need. The positive atmosphere of our league ensures a good experience for refs!
Usually we schedule you to ref a game immediately before or after your own child's game. We don't want anyone to miss their own kids play! Refs are usually asked to do one game per weekend, but our scheduling is very flexible. We work around your schedule to making reffing as easy as possible.
