Step 1 - Creating Your Account

Signing up to participate in a grassroots referee course and taking your first steps toward obtaining your referee certification is easy. Just follow the simple steps below to get started.

Open The Learning Center

In order to take your first referee course you will need to create an account with the US Soccer Learning Center, as the courses are now coordinated, scheduled and administered via this online portal.


You can click the image to the left to open the Learning Center Portal in a new window, and begin your registration process.


Once you arrive on the Learning Center Website, you will need to click the "Sign Up" link in the upper right (circled in red on the image to the right).

Select Your Dicipline

After Clicking the "Sign Up" link, you will be asked to choose the Dicipline that you wish to create an account for.  The new Learning Center is used for both Coaching and Referee Education, so you will need to select "Register As Referee" to Proceed.

Enter Your Information

Enter your information into the form.


If you have multiple referees registering from the same household, each person will need to use a unique email address in the system.  All registrations are tracked to the specific email address for each account.


Once you have completed the form, you will need to click the green "Sign Up Now" text in the lower right corner of the form.
