If you are already a USSF licensed referee, email Referee Coordinator Henry Warmerdam at eastshorealliancefc@gmail.com requesting access to the Eastshore Alliance FC MySoccerLeague (MSL) referee assignment system.

If you are not a USSF licensed referee, you must take a USSF referee course, including a field assessment and pass the exam. You can find this course on CNRA's (California North Referee Administration) website. Then you can request access to our referee assignment system.

1. Click on the date that you want to referee.

2. Decide if you want to be a center referee (CR) or an assistant referee (AR).

3. Hit the request button which then sends a message to the Referee Coordinator.

Every referee should have the new official yellow referee jersey and official 2 stripe referee socks. USSF implemented the new referees uniform design (jerseys and socks) in 2018, so all referees must now wear them. If you do not have a new jersey or new socks, please buy them as soon as possible.

In addition to an official jersey and socks, referees must have:

• black shorts,

• mostly black shoes,

• referee cards,

• assistant referee flags,

• a pen and paper,

• a whistle, and

• a watch

Make sure to bring water and snacks to eat between games.

If you are rejected for a game, we have done it for a good reason. Here are three reasons we will decline a game request.

1. Lots of people have asked for the game and it was given to someone else.

2. We don't think you're ready for the match yet.

3. We are specifically looking to get new referees into our system.
