Soccer is more than just a game; it's a community, a passion, and a shared experience that brings us all together. At Oneonta Soccer Club (OSC), we understand the vital role that referees play in keeping the spirit of the game alive. That's why we're reaching out to you – the soccer enthusiasts, parents, and players who have felt the pulse of the game on the field.
The Need for Referees:
In recent times, the need for referees has become a shared concern that affects the entire soccer community. At OSC, we proudly support the Eastern New York Soccer Referee Association (ENYSRA) and all the incredible work they do to ensure the smooth running of matches. However, to maintain the vibrancy of youth sports and community soccer, we need your help.
One common misconception is that becoming a referee requires extensive prior experience. The truth is, it doesn't! Whether you're a seasoned soccer player, a parent who spent weekends cheering from the sidelines, or a die-hard soccer fan missing the thrill of the game – you can become a referee.
Why should you consider donning the referee jersey? Well, the perks are more than you might think. Not only will you be supporting youth sports and your local soccer community, but there's also financial support available for those interested in becoming a ref. It's an opportunity to earn extra cash, build your resume, and be a crucial part of the game we all love.
Joining the referee squad is easier than you might think. OSC and ENYSRA are teaming up to offer comprehensive support for those interested in taking up the whistle. You don't need to worry about prior experience – what matters is your passion for the game and a willingness to contribute.

Together, we can make a lasting impact on youth sports and the vibrant soccer community we call home.
