No! While previous soccer experience is an advantage to becoming a referee, it is not necessary. You'll gain plenty of knowledge through your referee course and experience during your first few games at a younger age level! The NLSA (Newfoundland Soccer Association) takes great care in making sure you feel confident and able with the material.
The basic equipment for our referees is as follows:
Mount Pearl Soccer Association will provide you with a MPSA referee shirt, or you are more than welcome to purchase an official one through the NLSA.
Our summer programs run from Monday - Thursday every week in July and August. Referees with MPSA will be working with our Club League Program (ages 6+) which runs from 5:00pm - 8:00pm each night. As well, our referees are also scheduled to work Metro Program (ages 7 - 11) Tournaments that we host at our facilities.
We are flexible in the hours you are looking to work, and we will assign you to games on a monthly basis based on your availability. Whether this means being assigned to one game each night (1 hour) or only being scheduled on Mondays and Wednesdays, etc. We want to work with you!
