*** PYSA Mandatory Referee On-field training for first times referees dates:Saturday March 23, 10am Buckman Field
*** Games forSpring 2024 start April 8th
CONGRATULATIONS, so you've finally made the decision to become a registered soccer referee, and now you want to know what's involved.
It's pretty straightforward…
First, you have to be 13/14 years old to work for PYSA.
Please access oregonreferee.com.com to look up the class dates and register.
Once you become a USSF certified referee, register under www.reftown.com and request to work for PYSA.
The rationale behind mandatory on-field training and meeting is that PYSA only utilizes center referees, and PYSA uses some modified laws of the game.
All games are played in the city of Portland.
The pay scale is as follows:
U9 - U10 games = $25
U11 - U12 games = $35
U13 - U14 games = $45
Fall Requirements
You will be accepted after you comply with all the PYSA requirements, attend the on-field training and attend the mandatory meeting, and attend the Jamboree.
Mandatory Training Information: (Referees must attend at least one of these training)
Date and time TBA
Mandatory Jamboree Information: (Only referees who have attended one of the mandatory training sessions can referee at the Jamboree)
The Jamboree is additional training during shortened U9 soccer games with PYSA Referee Mentors attending to guide and train new referees. Referees will be paid for this event as they would during the season for games.
Date and time TBA
The Jamboree games duration is 25 minutes without halves and we will pay $10 per game on that day. Please dress in full uniform and arrive as if you were assigned a game, on time (not at the game time). You will receive valuable experience and education while participating in our opening Jamboree.
This on-field experience is required for all NEW referees.
Please email us with the shift you will be working to:

PYSA will reimburse first-time year referees 18 years old and younger the amount of $100 after they work at least 12 games during their first season and at least two games of the tournament in November.
