Hiring Student Refs - Apply Here
This coming fall SYSO season, we’ll hire a small group of refs who can ref two to three games most weekends between September 12 and October 31. To be considered for one of these positions, please fill out the application form (link below) and submit it by August 15. There will be a mandatory orientation session where we will go over game rules and hand out ref jerseys and whistles. The date will be sent out in mid-August. Questions? Email skaneatelessoccer@gmail.com.
To be considered, you must be in 8th-12th grade (as of the fall 2026), you must be able to ref two to three (preferably three) games every Saturday—at 8:30 AM, 10:00 AM, and 11:30 AM (2.5 to 4-hour commitment)—and must be able to do this for at least 5 out of the 8 dates listed below.
We expect our refs to be active and vocal in creating a safe soccer game with good fundamentals. This means that you, as ref, will need to be comfortable calling out-of-bounds, off-sides, and, most importantly, fouls loudly and clearly. Additionally, we need referees to assist players with proper throw-ins, goal kicks, corner kicks, and free kicks.
Selected refs can make up to $75 per Saturday ($25 per game). If you can meet all these requirements and are interested in applying, please click the link below.

We’ll also maintain a short list of backup referees, in case someone becomes ill or is unable to attend. You can indicate if you would like to be on this list on the application form.
