Team Evanston is hosting an Assistant Referee clinic for new and re-certification referees. The clinic is  set for Saturday, January 21st 8:30am-5:00pm at Chandler-Newberger Community Center. Also, please note that you cannot arrive late or leave early. The referee organization running the clinic is very strict with this rule and will not let you in the classroom if you are late and will not certify you if you have to leave early. If for some reason you cannot make it to the clinic, there are plenty of others in the Chicagoland area you can attend and receive your certification. The clinic costs $75 which you have to pay yourself. Please bring a check or exact cash to the clinic. Once you pass the test, you can send us your certificate and we will reimburse you the $75. To register, please follow the link below. The class is limited to 40 participants.

Team Evanston provides assistant referees (Linesmen) for all games. AR’s generally are from the ranks of former Team Evanston players or Evanston High School players. AR’s for ages U11 and up are US Soccer licensed referees. AR’s for ages U9 and U10 are "in training" and may either be Team Evanston trained or US Soccer licensed referees. 

Licensed referees are paid on the following scale:

U09-U11: $20 per game
U12: $25 per game
U13-U14: $30 per game
U15-U18: $40 per game (only our most experienced/qualified referees can be assigned to this age group)

Referees select their own schedules of games based on their own schedules. Team Evanston uses a web-based program, thearbiter.net, for game assignments.
