Become a US Soccer Referee
CVSRA hosts two opportunities to become a certified soccer referee throughout the year, during our summer and winter cycles. Our training program is the best in the Mid-Atlantic area, and our model has a very high success rate on getting prospective referee candidates through the process and onto the fields as certified officials.
The Summer Cycle
During the months of June and July, we host via Zoom “New” Referee Introductory sessions. We have one session in June and four in July.
After attending the Intro Zoom, you will take a series of online courses, quizzes, and tests.
During the month of August, we host Field Training Events (FTEs). FTEs for the Summer 2026 cycle are scheduled for August. More information coming in the New Year!
The Winter Cycle
During the months of December and January, we host via Zoom “New” Referee Introductory sessions. We have two sessions in December and two in January.
After attending the Intro Zoom, you will take a series of online courses, quizzes, and tests.
During the month of February, we host Field Training Events (FTEs).
