US Club Soccer also provides excellent opportunities for motivated referees to get a higher level of experience with guidance from some of the best mentors, administrators, and assignors in the country — many of whom are current or former international or professional referees.

With an identification process that starts at the state level during the State Championships in the fall and spring, referees have the opportunity to secure a spot at the Midwest Regional in the summer.

Referees who perform well at the regional tournament may be selected to US Club Soccer’s National Cup that culminates a summer full of top-tier matches. For referees looking to further their careers, these competitions are some of the best youth soccer events in the country.
