This position pays $14 – 22/hour depending on experience.  Must be 14 years old to get paid.  W-9 must be submitted.   You will be paid every three weeks (2x per season).

Training is mandatory and provided by the league.  For the first few games, you will be paired with an experienced ref (unpaid). Once we are confident you can ref without a partner, you will get paid.  This usually occurs on the first week of the season.

If you are not 14, you can still be a volunteer JUNIOR REFEREE.   You will work with an experienced ref and learn the ropes.  If interested, complete the above steps.
