Welcome to AYSO 572 Referee Page

Do you love soccer or maybe just want to make sure the children of our community can continue to play soccer. Then we at AYSO 572 need your help. We are an abundance of opportunities for those who would like to referees. We will train you; give you a uniform, and provide lots of opportunities to get some good exercise. AYSO is an all-volunteer organization. Your participation makes a difference to the youth of the organization. Your time and interest helps insure that the AYSO youth have a FAIR, FUN & SAFE soccer experience. We don't want to tell the children of this community they can't play so please volunteer to referee today. If you are interested see our training opportunities below. We look forward to seeing you in class.
