Referee Training - Fall 2021
Every team, 8U-16U, must have a referee to officiate home games

I am Greg Giron, the Referee Instructor for AYSO Carson City 2/F/140 and an Advanced Referee for AYSO. ([email protected])

Thank you for volunteering to referee the beautiful game of soccer for the youth in our community. Your efforts make our community a better place to live! The Laws of the Game require a referee for all matches (games). Without you, there's no match!

In addition to becoming a volunteer (see the Becoming a Volunteer section below):

Returning referees must attend a Referee Update Session to understand how the most recent changes to the Laws of the Game are implemented by U.S. Soccer and AYSO. See the Referee Update Session section below for more information.
New 8U referees must take the online course and attend a Referee Update Session. See the 8U Referee Training and Referee Update Session sections below for more information.
New 10U and up referees must complete the Regional Referee Training. See the Regional Referee Training section below for more information.

To help you become a referee we have added the following in-person courses in Carson City. Please bring copies or pictures of the certificates for the applicable prerequisites.

Referee Update Session - For all returning referees, new 8U referees and for any coach or parent that wants to learn about the game
Wednesday, September 15, 6:30PM to 8:30PM

Regional Referee Companion Course - For new referees - 10U and up
Friday, September 17, 5:30PM to 7:30PM

Regional Referee Course - For new referees - 10U and up
Saturday, September 18, 9:00AM to 5:00PM

Again, thank you for volunteering to be a referee!

Becoming a Volunteer

Becoming a Volunteer
The First Step to Becoming a Referee

All AYSO Volunteers must pass a background check through Sterling Volunteers and complete the following on-line Safe Haven Courses in AYSOU:

AYSO’s Safe Haven (30 minutes)
CDC HEADS UP Concussion Training (30 minutes)
Sudden Cardiac Arrest Online Course (10 minutes)
AYSO’s Stewards of the Game (10 minutes)

Please print the above certificates and bring them to your in-person referee training session.

All volunteers, including youth referees, must create their own account at AYSOCarsonCity.org. The system synchs with AYSOU overnight - so you should be able to access AYSOU the day after you create your account in AYSOCarsonCity.org. See our Volunteer page for more information.

Referee Update Sessions

Referee Update Sessions
For All Returning Referees and New 8U Referees

There are changes in the Laws of the Game the 2021/22 season.

Anyone interested in the Laws of the Game (LOTG) can go to your app store on your phone and download the IFAB Laws of the Game for free. To understand how AYSO is implementing relevant changes, please attend one of the Referee Update Sessions.

Referee Update sessions are for all referees and for all parents.

Referees should know and understand the updated Laws of the Game 2021/22 before the season starts.
Referees and parents should know and understand the how the updated Laws of the Game 2021/22 affect short-sided games or how AYSO will implement the LOTG for our children’s games, so everyone will know what to expect during a game.
Parents may attend any Referee Update Session
Returning Referees must attend at least one Referee Update if they plan to Referee this season or join us for any of the Referee Courses (a healthy refresher)

Referee Update Sessions are at:

Ormsby Room
Carson City Sheriff’s Office
911 E. Musser St.
Carson City, NV 89701

As you will see, the 8U game is short, fun, fair and safe and all about running around, touching the ball, and scoring (no goal keepers). Once you complete the online 8U Referee Training, bring pictures of/or copies of all your certificates and attend one of the Referee Update Sessions to review what you have learned and to get your 8U Referee Kit (shirt, whistle, lanyard, and coin). You must bring copies of the following certificates with you to the Referee Update Session:
