2. Sign up to volunteer for Davis AYSO using the sign up button here

3. Complete Safe Haven training on AYSOU (instructions) (download certificate after completing) 

   1. NOTE: You do NOT need to do AYSO referee training, sudden cardiac arrest, or concussion awareness

4. Complete a cross certification form (download after completing)

5. Email the above to  John Gray refereeadmin@davisayso.org, Davis AYSO Referee admin and then view  more information about self-assigning games and getting your uniform.
