HFC United uses referees who are trained and certified by the Minnesota State Referee Committee (SRC). The SRC is responsible for certifying and re-certifying referees in Minnesota. 

Compensation

New Referees

HFC United has partnered with Minnesota Elite Assigning LLC to manage all referee scheduling and payments.

If you are interested in registering to referee for HFC United, or for any of the clubs serviced by  Minnesota Elite Assigning LLC, please contact Brian Wood at mneliteassigning@gmail.com.

The SRC also has a section devoted to new and interested referees that provides all of the steps in becoming elligible.

The SRC has also created a step-by-step instruction guide for new referees to become a licensed grassroots referee in Minnesota (see link below to download).

New referees will be compensated $40.00 after they ref 10 games by the club to offset the cost of registration.

Youth Referees

Change Effective July 1, 2019: US Soccer has mandated a minimum age of 13 years old for certification. The SRC has modified their system to now deny the creation of any accounts for person under 13 years old. Once an individual turns 13, they are permitted to create an account with the SRC. If you have questions regarding this, please contact the SRC Administrator using the Contact Us form on the SRC website.

New referees will have certain requirements that are needed to complete in order to be on the pitch for the first time. These requirements are covered in a short video that all new referees are required to watch before submitting any kind of payment to the SRC.  This ensures that any interested new referees have a complete and thorough understanding of both these expectations and the SRC policies. 

If you are a parent of a child that is looking to become a referee, please watch the SRC's Parenting a Referee video so you can learn about the benefits, expectations, and challenges facing your child in becoming a referee!
