WHY REFEREE
"I referee because it gives me the opportunity to be a helper to coaches and players to better understand the game of soccer. I also referee because I enjoy meeting great referees, amateur and professional, and learning from them. Refereeing is a gift and it is actually very fun."
"Refereeing is a fun way to stay connected to the game."
"I referee so I can improve and officiate higher level games."
