LYSA wants to take a little stress off the coaches. One of the many ideas we had was to form our own referee pool to run the games on Saturdays. With a ref to control the game, coaches don’t have to worry about calling fouls, who played the ball out of bounds, and keeping time all while trying to make sure the players are getting enough time and attention during the game. We want to open this completely FREE ref training to anyone interested. Once you have completed training with LYSA, you will be given a LYSA REF shirt, a whistle, and you can earn money for each game you ref. Parents, older siblings, cousins, fans of the game, sign up today! This is for age groups U7, U9, and potentially U11. For refereeing older groups, see below to become an official USSF referee.

Please check with LYSA if you are interested in becoming a ref. Getting certified is a great way to learn the rules and get trained, and this will be our go-to for all refs at the U13 and up levels.
Becoming a referee is a great way to help soccer develop in our community, PLUS you get paid for each game you ref! Fees to become a ref are subject to change. Adults are more than welcome to get involved in reffing, and will need to get certified to do so.

For LYSA – Small-sided certs are usually a little more affordable, but if you want to ref at other locations or for tournaments (at ZYSA or other Indy locations) you will need a full-sided cert. All USSF refs will also need the full attire, with the yellow jersey preferred (if only buying one color).
