Ideally, first time referees would start with the local PRSC ENTRY LEVEL REFEREE TRAINING. This is a great introduction to soccer officiating. The PRSC certification would enable them to be assigned as referees for the recreational House League program or Assistant Referees for younger aged club matches.
After a year's experience, returning referees can recertify within the PRSC referee program to receive more challenging House League or AR assignments or opt to become USSF Certified. The USSF Grassroots certification program is administered by the United States Soccer Federation in association with the Illinois State Referee Committee. In addition to assignments in the House League (at a higher pay rate) and as an AR for the older club age levels, USSF certified referees can be assigned as a center for age appropriate club matches.
