Referees are required to submit a Referee Report (formerly known as the “Referee Misconduct Report”) for any Send-Offs of players, team officials or spectators that occur in Area 1D play within 48 hours of the game. This same report is also now used for the referees to report any Serious Injuries which occurred during a game.

• Reports related to 16U/19U matches or 10U/12U/14U AreaPlayoffs matches must be submitted to the AYSO Area 1-D Referee Administrator.
• Report related to Spring League matches must be submitted to the Spring League Director.

NOTE: Cautions issued by the Referee are to be reported on the back of the lineup cards; a separate Referee Misconduct Report is not required.

An AYSO Incident Report Form is used whenever there is a personal injury, damaged property, or threats of or actual physical violence surrounding an AYSO game, practice, event or property. The form should be prepared by the coach, AYSO Official, or AYSO Volunteer or by tournament or event staff members. Instructions are included within the linked document. Answers to frequently asked questions regarding soccer accidents may be found on the AYSO insurance website.

For all Area 1D 16U/19U matches and 10U/12U/14U Playoff or Spring League matches, you should forward your report to the Area Director within 48 hours.

The Referee Feedback Form is provided so that you might help our volunteer referees improve their knowledge and skills. Please feel free to offer your comments, be they praise and/or suggestions for improvement. Your submission will be forward to the Area Referee Administrator for review.

The appropriate Application for Referee Certification forms must be completed by the candidate for upgrade to Intermediate Referee level and above. The referee must then send the form to the Area Referee Administrator or the Area Director of Assessment who will verify and submit for upgrade.

NOTE: Be sure to keep a copy.

Cross-Certification to USSF is available to AYSO Intermediate, Advanced or National referees who have been certified as referees for six months or more and who are not currently certified with USSF. All games officiated for AYSO or USSF may be applied toward the certification requirements of either AYSO or USSF.

If you are interested in cross-certification, use the AYSO-USSF Cross-Certification Procedure. If you have questions, contact the Area Referee Administrator.

The AYSO National forms reference contains most of the forms Referees, Instructors and Assessors will need in the course of their duties.

AYSO also maintains an online library of lesson plans, exams and forms for Referee Assessors and Referee Instructors on eTrainU.  Look under Docs after clicking My Training button on your Volunteer page in your Regional Portal.
