The Association needs referees. Refereeing is an excellent way to make money while staying involved in the sport you love. Referees are needed for both recreation and travel soccer at all age levels. In order to referee, you must be licensed. Training sessions for licensing are readily available in the area through the NJ Referee Association.

For recreational league referees, a Grade 9 license is required. The Grade 9 license preparation class lasts one day. At the end of the class, you will be able to take the Grade 9 licensing exam.

For travel league referees, a Grade 8 license is required. The Grade 8 license preparation class is two days and one evening. At the end of the class, you will be able to take the Grade 8 licensing exam.

Immediately after obtaining either license, you will be eligible to referee games. To learn more about becoming a referee and sign up for a class go to http://www.njrefs.com.
