Welcome to the Referee page for North Valley, Region 174, a part of Section 10, Area V [i.e., 10 V 174] located in Granada Hills, California. Will Lieb is the Regional Referee Administrator, who may be contacted at referee@ayso174.org .
Region 174 offers Refereeing opportunities for youth games having participants between 4 and 19 years of age. Referee training is offered to candidates who are at least 11 years of age.
Junior referee training is available during the fall soccer season and at other times during the year. Junior referees receive 2 hours of class room training plus on-field supervision to enable them to referee youth games for players that are under 8 years of age. Contact Craig Forry, youth referee administrator, at corforlaw@aol.com for additional information.
In addition, Basic Referee training is available for Youth referees that are 12 to 19 years of age as well as for adult referee candidates with no soccer or refereeing experience. The training class is 8 hours and is conducted in one or two sessions. Candidates that complete the training are Regional Referees and can referee games with participants that are under 10 years of age.
Parents are strongly encouraged to take referee training to add to and upgrade our referee volunteers while learning the laws of soccer so the kids' activities and the coach training can be understood and appreciated.
All Referees are urged to wear the uniform properly. Please wear the jersey tucked into the shorts, wear referee shorts [not player shorts] around the waist and not pulled down, wear black socks with while stripes, and predominantly black shoes. Also, when you are at the fields but are not refereeing, please replace your referee jersey with another shirt.
