Being a soccer referee can be both rewarding and fulfilling. Whether for a young person learning responsibility or an adult contributing to the sport, referee training and development is the primary mission of Florida Soccer Referees (FSR). FSR oversees the administration of the United States Soccer Federation Referee Program within the State of Florida. They are responsible for the development of the appropriate procedures and policies for the certification and oversight of Florida referees, assessors, mentors, and coaches. To this end, FSR has established a process to ensure that every person who wishes to become a referee is afforded the opportunity to become registered and certified as a soccer referee with the United States Soccer Federation (USSF).
