REFEREE CERTIFICATION
Ladera Soccer provides free training for ALL of our Referees & Assistant 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.
There is always more to learn, and Area 11-O 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.
