It’s easy! Sign up and attend a course and take a certification test. Courses are announced on the CJSA website (https://ssl.hammerhead.net/ctref/RefereeClinics.asp) and are usually held in the January through May timeframe. The fee for the course is posted on the site.
Classes are approximately 2 1/2 hours each. There are seven classes. Attendance at all classes and a passing grade on the exam are required for certification. The recommended minimum age is 13, but a mature 12 year old probably can be successful. Adults are encouraged to attend.

HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I MAKE?
You can expect to make between $15 - $20 as a linesman for each of your first 12 games for a mere one and one half-hours of work!! After twelve games, you may be able to center, and can expect to make between $20 - $30 per game. This is an ideal part time job for those kids and adults who want extra spending money and the ability to pick their own hours.

WHEN WILL I WORK?
Currently, there is a shortage of referees in our district. There are more than enough opportunities to referee. You can choose those games that fit your schedule for any weekend. Games are played on Saturdays and Sundays with a few on Friday nights.
WHERE WILL I WORK?
You will usually referee in the town that you live in. For Somers, that includes MBA, Field Road and Somersville School. Occasionally there are other sites within town. There are also opportunities to referee in neighboring towns. You can also referee at any tournament.
SELECTION FOR GAMES
As a referee, you have an important job - one that every team is grateful for when game time comes. Referees are assigned based on their age and experience. If you center a game, you will be at least two years older than the team age (i.e. a U-10 team will have referees at least 12 years old) for all games U-14 and under.
REFEREE RECERTIFICATION CLINICS
Each year you will need to recertify. This involves attending a three hour course. These courses are announced on the CJSA website (http://ctreferee.org/riclinics.html) and are usually held in the fall/winter/spring timeframe.
