Interested in Becoming a RSRA Referee for the Outdoor 2025 Season?

RSRA Referee Information for the Outdoor 2025 Season

Please see the following message from Shaun Augustin from the Regina Referees Association:

The Regina Soccer Referees Association (RSRA) is looking for anyone interested in becoming a referee for the Outdoor 2025 Season. The RSRA is hosting two different types of clinics aimed at two separate age groups: 

1. Entry-Level Clinic (participants must be aged 14+). This is the RSRA’s traditional clinic that it hosts to get new referees; and 
2. “Small-Sided” Clinic (for participants aged 12-13). The RSRA is hosting a “small-sided” clinic aimed at a younger age group. Note: those aged 14+ are not eligible for this option. 

It is a two-step process to become a referee:  

1. Completion of an Online Theory Course (on the FIFA Laws of the Game). The online theory course must be completed by Apr.20. For those age 14+, you must take the CSA’s online theory course at a cost of $30 per person. For those aged 12-13, you take the SSA’s online theory course at no cost; and  
2. Completion of the In-Person Clinic. The RSRA’s (in-person) Entry-Level Clinic is on Saturday, Apr.26 from 9 pm to 5 pm. The RSRA’s (in-person) Small-Sided Clinic is on Sunday, Apr.27 from 9 am to 1 pm. Individuals will participate in only 1 of the 2 clinics not both. 

Please note the following additional information: 

- Minimum Ages. Entry-level clinic participants must be 14 years of age to register in the Canada Soccer Association’s (CSA) Online Theory Course. This is a CSA rule, not a RSRA rule. It is non-negotiable. Those aged 12-13 can take the small-sided clinic. Children aged 11 or under are not eligible to referee; 

- Entry-Level Clinic Online Theory Module. All registrants for the entry-level clinic must have completed the CSA’s Online Theory Module by Apr.20 to be eligible to register for the RSRA’s Entry-Level Clinic. Anyone who has not completed the CSA’s module by this date will not be allowed to register for the Entry-Level Clinic. The cost of the Entry-Level Clinic is $150 per participant; 

- Small-Sided Clinic Online Theory Module. All registrants for the small-sided clinic must have completed the Saskatchewan Soccer Association’s (SSA) Online Theory Module by Apr.20 to be eligible to register for the RSRA’s Small-Sided Clinic. Anyone who has not completed the SSA’s module by this date will not be allowed to register for the Small-Sided Clinic. The cost of the Small-Sided Clinic is $75 per participant; 

- Small-Sided Clinic Benefits? The RSRA’s goal is to introduce young people to refereeing earlier. Small-Sided Referees. aged 12-13, will be limited to U7 and U9 games until they turn 14 and take the full entry-level clinic. This will provide Small-Sided Referees the time to learn refereeing and gain confidence while in a low-pressure environment; 

-  Clinic Capacity. Both the entry-level clinic and small-sided clinic each have a capacity of 15 participants. A waitlist will be maintained if the clinic capacity is reached. 

Instructions will be provided separately on how to register for the online modules for each type of clinic. Please contact Shaun Augustin, RSRA Treasurer, at rsra.treasurer@gmail.com or (306) 526-8781 for these instructions or any other questions about the process. 

Thank you,
