having a great time        ------------------>

Referee volunteers are critical to our league to make the games happen and keep it safe, fair and fun. All equipment is provided --- snappy yellow shirt with full uniform & knee socks, not to mention free whistles, flags, etc.

We offer a mix of online and in-person training to get your ready for the season, no matter your experience level. Join a great team of volunteer referees who are there to support and mentor as you learn.


Sign up as a volunteer through ayso281.org and reach out to Will Kuehn ([email protected]) with any questions. 




  Team Points Update


We've had a stellar two years with our team points system. It's been quite beneficial to our teams, refs, and PHMSA in general. Since its adoption, we've witnessed the miracle of every single game covered by referees! As you know, no ref = no game!

We listened to your feedback and made improvements to the points system. As you know, teams must accrue points throughout the season to qualify for our PHMSA cup at the end of the season (10U+). This year, the points tally is as follows:

6U & 8U     5 points
10U-19U    20 points


To earn points:

2 referees per team - 1 point for AR, 2 points for Center (~16 points per season)
                                   Points also awarded for your 1st game and badge leveling up
1-3 points Board Member Positions
1 point      Assistant Coach(es) position filled
1 point      Team Parent position filled
1 point      Team Fields Coordinator position filled
1 point      Youth Referee from team
+ volunteer opportunities throughout the season
                   Equipment pick up/return, picture day, volunteer dinner, etc. 

PHMSA is 100% volunteer run. AYSO is a family experience. As an AYSO volunteer, an adult can participate with their player and teach the value of giving back to the community. Working together, we can provide a fun, fair, safe environment for our players. It takes a village, why not join ours?
