Entry Level Referee Certification

 

If you would like to become a referee you must be 14 years of age on or before March 31st of the current year and you need to take an entry level course.

The new Entry Level Referee Course focuses on practical training and the application of the Laws of the Game.  Prior to arriving at the course, participants are required to complete a Pre-Course Workbook, thereby giving them a basic knowledge of the Laws before entering the classroom with one of the OSA's qualified instructors.  During the course, participants will engage in interactive, practical-based training sessions, teaching them how to apply the Laws they touched upon in their pre-course work.  At the conclusion of the course, participants will write an exam on the material covered over the duration of the course.  Those who pass the examination will be certified as CSA District Referees (if over the age of 16) or Youth Referees (if under the age of 16).
