Ela Soccer Club

The club is responsible for coordinating all referees for the Recreation Program and the Assistant Referees (AR) for all home games in the Competitive Program. To maintain a high standard, we require that all referees have a current ISRC certification.  

Referees must be at least 12 years old.  
 - 12 to15 year old referees must have a work permit. Permits are valid for one year from date of issue. 
 - 12 & 13 year old referees are required to have a parent or guardian present during their assignments.

If you would like to referee for Ela Soccer Club request a referee application package .  This package contains all forms needed including instructions on obtaining a work permit.
