Referees

At WJYS, one of our core beliefs is to develop and improve the quality of referees in the league. We do this by training referees through the IREF training program and giving young referees the opportunity to get on field experience. This training is offered to our referees for free with a grant from Utah Youth Soccer. This is an exciting opportunity to learn what referees do and how to earn some income.

If you would like to become a referee with WJYS then follow these steps to get registered:

  1. Submit your interest by completing the West Jordan Youth Soccer Referee Interest Form
  2. Go to the IREF Website to register for the IREF training course. Be sure to select West Jordan when registering so that IREF can route the notice of completion to the right league. 
  3. Complete the training modules.
  4. Upon completion, the Referee Director will be able to contact you regarding next steps.
