Soccer: Become A Certified Soccer Referee

ALL NEW REFEREE CLINICS require completion of online modules in advance of any in-person “classroom” and “field” clinic sessions. The online training for new Grassroots referees takes 6-8 hours.  The Field Training portion takes 4 hours (either 4 hours on the field on a weekend or 4 hours split between a two-hour zoom session and two hours on the field on a weeknight).  Once the online work is completed, you can transfer to one of the field training clinics.  The “classroom” session may be through a zoom meeting. 

Begin by going to the Metro DC VA State Referee Program website at www.vadcsoccerref.com.  Click on “BECOME A REFEREE” at the top and follow the instructions.  The cost is $80.00. Once you have registered, the clinic that you are looking for as a First Step clinic is: Central-13-0321-EGRHOL (OL represents “ONLINE”).  If you live in Rockingham County or Harrisonburg, the registration system will list you as being in the NORTH Area, but you are looking for a CENTRAL clinic.  Once you have completed the online work, you will be eligible to transfer to any clinic statewide called EGRHFT (FT represents “FIELD TRAINING”).

We have scheduled the following FT clinic at Horizon’s Edge:

Referee – Grassroots Entry – Final Step – Field Training
Central-23-0221-EGRHFT
Harrisonburg, VA
Sat 2/27/2021 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM

It is REQUIRED that each referee has their own e-mail address.  During the certification process, you will set up a profile at the State OMS site and a profile at the USSOCCERDigital Learning Center.  For the databases to link correctly, these profiles MUST have exactly the same first and last name and e-mail address.
