I'm 16 and have been a referee for 3 years. I earned almost $8,000 working games in the fall of 2024 and spring of 2025. I can't wait for this fall. - CM 7/3/25
My daughter is a college junior and referee. During an interview for a summer internship, almost half the discussion was about being a referee for youth soccer. I'm not saying that's why she got the job, but it certainly helped. - PM 6/29/25
Thank you for inviting our 15 year old daughter to Jefferson Cup in VA. The experience was transformative. She worked with professional female referees that worked USWNT games. She learned a lot and boosted her confidence tremendously. She came home feeling fulfilled and empowered. - MG 4/8/25
