Why should I become a soccer referee?   Participants can benefit by learning the 17 Laws of the Game, earn extra money by refereeing recreation (Class 4), Delgado (Class 3), or Abronzino (Class 1) matches as either a referee or assistant referee, and supporting Orchard Valley’s obligation to the soccer community of having qualified and certified referee to referee home matches.  Orchard Valley requires Class 1 and 3 head coaches to have a Grade 8 referee license to coach at that level.  Coaches who want to pursue a Coaches National D license require a Grade 8 referee license as a prerequisite.

Who do I contact to sign up for the referee class?  If you need more information or want to sign up for the upcoming class, please call Tony Rodrigues (Orchard Valley Referee Coordinator/Assignor) at (408) 461-1283 or email him at mrsoccer@garlic.com .
