List of Assignors

In order to be assigned to referee soccer matches, you must get in contact with a USSF licensed Referee Assignor. You should have been given a list of local assignors during the Grassroots Referee Course. An assignor list by location is provided below. Click on a location and the assignor(s) for the clubs in that area will be displayed. Click on the assignor’s name to send him/her an e-Mail.

It is your responsibility to contact your local assignor and let them know that you are a certified official and are ready to work games. Most assignors will want to know your availability so be ready with the list of dates and times that you are and are not available to work matches when you contact them. Also, be sure to let them know of a reliable way to contact you in case of last-minute schedule changes. Many assignors will assign games on a week-by-week basis so be sure to ask what the procedure is for getting games in the future. As a USSF certified referee, you are an independent contractor and as such may work for any assignor, but it is your responsibility to contact them for games.

As a new soccer official, you should be prepared to work mainly as an Assistant Referee or as a Referee on the younger age groups until the assignor is able to identify your abilities to handle more difficult games. Do not be discouraged if your first season is spent doing "little kids" as all referees go through this process of development. If you have the opportunity to work with more experienced referees, be sure to ask them any questions you might have as their advice will come in handy when you receive harder assignments.
