Referees Wanted
We currently have a major shortage of qualified referee's in our club and community. Becoming a referee is a great way to learn the game of soccer and earn extra money while having fun. Becoming a referee is also a great way to teach your children the correct rules.
We are currently seeking players age 13 and up, parents and coaches to take the Referee Grade 8 Entry Level state certified referee course. The course consists of an online educational module & test. After the successful completion, the student will be a certified USSF Soccer Referee.
As a State Certified Referee, you will not be limited to refereeing only at Belleview Soccer Club games; you will be able to referee anywhere in the state. Please look at our "Become a Referee" page for more information.
Anyone interested in becoming a referee please contact:
