Based on the review and feedback we've received from the Long Term Officials Development (LTOD) sessions, we have devised and categorized multiple documents to help clarify frequently asked questions about the program. Each document corresponds with the different topics members have raised inquires about.
You will need the passcode to watch this session. Passcode: tL#1=2x9

All referees will need to take this clinic if you wish to referee 7v7 games. Minimum age requirement is 12 as of March 31st. If you took the Small Sided Course in 2016 you do not have to take it again but you must register with the Ontario Soccer to renew your certification each year. When you take this course you will be registered with the Ontario Soccer to referee 7v7 games.
Entry Level Referee
This course is for those who would like to become a certified referee and are 14 years of age as of March 31st or older. By taking this clinic, a referee is automatically registered for the upcoming season with Ontario Soccer and does not have to register again until the following year. Individuals can search and apply to register in a clinic starting February,
