Thank you for inquiring about becoming a BC Soccer Registered Referee.  Whether you are an experienced referee new to British Columbia or if you are new to the discipline of refereeing BC Soccer has a clinic and a pathway for you.  The minimum age to become a referee is12 years old (small sided) and 14 years old (11-a-side). Please enjoy the short video showcasing some Referee programs that BC Soccer offers and continue below for more on how to become a referee in BC!

The first step for those who 14 years of age or older and are interested in refereeing 11-a-side soccer is to enroll and complete an Entry Level Referee Clinic. 

For those who are 12 and older and are interested in refereeing small sided soccer (less than 11-a-side) the first step is to enroll and complete a Small Sided Referee Clinic
