Glenwood is tackling the youth sports referee shortage by training kids as young as 11 to officiate games, with support from mentors. Could this model be the future of youth sports? ⚽

Interested in becoming a soccer referee?

The Glenwood Soccer Club Referee Mentor Program gives youth ages 12 and older the opportunity to learn how to officiate in a supportive, low-stress environment — and get paid for refereeing games!

📅 Fall Training
Thursday, September 3 | 5:30 PM
Glenwood Soccer Complex (behind the high school)
⏱️ Approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes
🌧️ Weather makeup date: Tuesday, September 8

All youth referees — new and returning — should attend training this season.

Training will focus on the rules of small-sided play and prepare referees to confidently officiate 6U–10U recreational games. We will also cover new material and answer questions before the season begins.

⚽ How the Program Works
Season: September 12–October 17 (6 weeks)

Games: Saturday mornings

Assignments: Based on availability, experience, and mentor coverage

Mentoring: An experienced mentor will be at the fields each Saturday to provide guidance, feedback, and support

Pay: Referees are paid in cash at the end of the season

Carol Malcom and Travis Schuppan will serve as referee mentors and primary points of contact at the fields. Sarah Curry will coordinate preseason training and referee assignments.

Our recreational league is designed to be a positive place for young referees to learn. Coaches and parents know our youth officials are developing their skills, and mentors are available to help with questions or situations that arise during games.

📩 Interested? Please RSVP!
Email [email protected] to let us know your child will attend training so we can have enough materials prepared for everyone.

No previous referee experience is required — just an interest in learning!
