NOW I'M A REFEREE- WHAT IS NEXT?

How do I get assigned games?

Once the referee assignor at SkagitRefs.org receives your contact information, you'll be placed on the region's referee roster. Game schedules are periodically emailed to all referees asking for availability. You can also check to see what is open by logging into your site profile and reviewing the Match Inquiry section. It is the referee's responsibility to ask for games, show up to ref them, and file match and/or disciplinary reports to ensure payment occurs. 

I play, how do I get assigned games?

Referees choose the matches they wish to work. If you play and ref on the same day, it is your responsibility to avoid time conflicts.

How many games can I referee in a day?

The best practice is to limit yourself to about three games per day. If you're refereeing U8 matches, it may be possible to take on more games. Although there is no theoretical limit (although youth labor laws apply), your body gets tired after officiating multiple matches. Most referees run between 2-3 miles per game. The expectation is that you'll be as proficient at the start of your first game of the day as you are for the final minutes of the last game.

Do referees get paid?

Referees get paid based on the age group and CR or AR assignment. This process is managed by SkagitRefs.org and referees are paid monthly.
