There are no minimum age requirements to become a referee.  However, many local leagues may require a referee to be older than the players that they are officiating.  Parents are advised to assess the maturity level of their child prior to permitting them to take one of the Entry Level Referee Courses.

All Entry Level Courses that end prior to June 29th will be registered for the current year. Students that successfully complete these courses will receive a Referee badge for the current year and can begin refereeing immediately. Referees are required to renew their license annually for the upcoming season.

Referees that complete their Entry Level Referee Course on or after July 1 will be registered for the next year and receive a Referee badge. These new referees will be able to referee the remaining season in addition to also being able to referee the next year before needing to renew their annual license.

Normally in house fee is $75 for course and the cost for uniform kits is ranges from $40 to $90 just remember it may sound like a lot, but you will get the money back once you start refereeing games.
