Refereeing
There are many ways to express your passion for soccer. Why not try doing it through refereeing?
​
Refereeing is a fantastic part-time job and we can ensure all of your games are in the local community. The minimum age to start refereeing is 13. If you are interested, but don't know where to start - email us! We will guide you through the Referee Course, get you all the materials/uniform you need and then coordinate your game assignments for the season.
​
If you are interested in becoming a referee for our house league divisions, please send us an email to info@northyorkcosmos.com
