The CCYSL Referee Scheduler is certified Assignor by United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and authorized by the Kentucky Soccer Referee Association (KSRA) to assign referees for Recreational and Select games sanctioned by USSF member organizations. As a Club, we require our Coaches, Parents and Players to respect the authority of the Referees on the field. In addition to the Referee Scheduler, the Club has a designated Head Referee who serves as an advocate and mentor for our referees.
Becoming a Certified Referee To referee games for the Club, you must be a USSF certified referee. Once certified, annual recertification is required to keep your license active. The Kentucky State Referee Association website provides additional information on referee certification (
