I would like to be able to referee Davis AYSO games and AYSO United Davis (and other NorCal Premier) games
STEP 1: Register to be a volunteer referee for Davis AYSO here.
STEP 2: Complete the twenty-minute AYSO Safe Haven online training session.
STEP 3: You will then need to register and pay for for the USSF referee training course. Select the January 21st class in Davis at Nugget Field for the in-person training. Once registered, complete the online pre-work courses (6-7 hours) and then in-person training (3 hours). The pre-work must be completed BEFORE the in-person class.
STEP 4: Within 3 days of the grassroots course fill out the Cross Certification form and then submit with other documentation to Cross Certify USSF to AYSO
STEP 5: AYSO United Davis will submit the cross certification form on your behalf. After it is complete a representative from Davis AYSO will reach out to you for gear pick up and how to self-assign games
I would like to be able to referee AYSO United Davis (and other NorCal Premier) games (but not Davis AYSO games)
STEP 1: You will then need to register and pay for for the USSF referee training course. Select the January 21st class in Davis at Nugget Field for the in-person training. Once registered, complete the online pre-work courses (6-7 hours) and then in-person training (3 hours). The pre-work must be completed BEFORE the in-person class.
STEP 2: When you have completed the above step, you will need to purchase your referee gear. AYSO United Davis games will be available to referee in the Spring and Fall of each year
NOTE: If the cost of the USSF course is a barrier, please let us know. After refereeing 2-3 NorCal Premier games you will have recouped your cost of the USSF class.
I would like to be able to referee Davis AYSO games (but not AYSO United Davis games)
STEP 1: Register to be a volunteer referee for Davis AYSO here.
STEP 2: Complete the Volunteer Application Form, Safe Haven, Concussion Awareness, Sudden Cardiac Arrest, and register for one of the In-Person classes.
STEP 3: You will get set up in the AYSO system and be ready to referee AYSO games!
Our recommendation is to become a USSF Grassroots and then cross certify to AYSO Regional. You then have access to get assigned to AYSO United Davis games with start-up equipment and mentorship from Davis AYSO. It will take about 30 extra minutes of your time to do so.
