Travel Referee Program
Referees are essential to ensuring a fair and safe experience for players, coaches, and spectators. WYSA is committed to maintaining a well-trained referee team for both Intown and Travel soccer. A certified referee assignor will oversee assignments for all fall travel games and U10 games and assistant referees in the spring, while a Middlesex Youth Soccer League assignor will handle all other spring travel games. Assignments are based on competency, experience, and age appropriateness.
Certified WYSA referees must complete annual recertification to remain active. WYSA will fully reimburse those who successfully recertify and have officiated at least ten Wilmington games in the previous year. WYSA encourages travel referees to attend training seminars and assessments to advance their referee grade. For Intown referees or individuals pursuing Grade 8 certification, WYSA will reimburse the certification course upon successful completion.
