This course is for those who wish to become a new soccer Referee. The Course has two components:
Completion of all online coursework found on this page, AND
2. Mandatory attendance of a field session scheduled for Sunday, February 15, 2026, starting at 11:45 am at Merrimack Turf Field Field #15.
The Course requires the completion of the online Course materials. Candidates should complete the online coursework before the scheduled field session to gain the most from the field session and obtain a license. If the candidate does not complete the online coursework by the deadline, the candidate may need to be transferred to the next available field session in the area.
For those candidates 18 and over, US Soccer also requires the candidate to apply for and pass a background check. The background check requires an additional $30 fee that is required directly by US Soccer. A candidate will still be allowed to attend the mandatory field session in the event their background check is still in process, but their license will not be issued until the background check is cleared.
