Match officials (also known as referees) are important to amateur sport in Saskatchewan. They keep sport safe, fair, and fun. They are knowledgeable, trained, passionate, and dedicated. And, our competitions cannot be held without them.
After you have connected with the SDSRAI, and depending on your interests and programming availability, you can start by registering for a Referee online course.
Whether you are interested in refereeing soccer, futsal, or both, more information is available for you to proceed is on the Referee Courses webpage.
