New Referee Courses this August! Become a USSF Referee!
Become a Certified U.S. Soccer Federation Referee
As soccer continues to grow in Alabama and across the state, more referees are needed to support the growth.
Alabama already has a shortage of soccer referees and referees are vital to the success and growth of our sport; a game cannot be played without referees.
Hoover-Vestavia Soccer is excited to promote the New Soccer Referee Program for the 2020-2021 season to bring youth players into refereeing and help address the shortage.
