Referees

Our organization – the South Carolina Referee Association (also known as the South Carolina Referee Committee) - is part of the national United States Soccer Federation (USSF). Every state has a similar organization and all state organizations are structured the same with minor variations and all operate with the same set of rules and guidelines.

​

The goal of each state organization is to provide soccer referees in support of all USSF affiliated adult and youth soccer organizations (and leagues) within each state. That includes the recruitment, education, evaluation (assessments), and assignment of all certified referees within each state. Each year, referees must recertify in order to referee games for the following year.
