Referee Program

The Fairhope Soccer Club takes pride in the continued success of our youth referee program. We provide comprehensive education and training for high school students, equipping them with the skills needed to officiate our youth soccer league games.

To be eligible, potential referees must be students in grades 9-12 with prior soccer or officiating experience. Requirements include reliable transportation, a cell phone for group communications, a stopwatch, black shorts, and sneakers.

FSC will provide referee shirt, in-house training, review of rules as well as on-field supervision/shadowing with our referee coordinator. 

MANDATORY REFEREE MEETING: Sunday, September 13th @ 4pm 

Attendance at the mandatory meeting is required to be eligible for referee assignments; those who do not attend may not be assigned games for the upcoming season.

Games are scheduled on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Times vary, and each referee is typically assigned two or three consecutive games with a 15-minute break between matches. All season information, scheduling, and game assignments will be communicated through TeamSnap.
