Homer Soccer Club does not require referees to be certified. All experience levels are welcome, as we assign games according to your comfort level.
In order to referee, you must attend a pre-season referee overview meeting.
First time referees are also eligible for up to $50 in reimbursement for uniform costs. In general, we recommend a 10 piece (Economy USSF shirt, Economy USSF shorts, Economy USSF socks, red & yellow card set, data wallet, scorepad, velcro disk for badge, whistle, lanyard, and flag set) soccer referee starter kit. Uniforms can be purchased anywhere but please see the links below for a few ideas.
