WYSC Game Assigment Priorities
While WYSC tries to balance games assigned to all registered referees the following criteria is used when assigning games:
 
  • Professionalism displayed in the past when referring with WYSC.
  • Seniority. 
  • Availability: the more available you are during the season (according to the availability form submitted) the most likely you would receive assignments.
  • Experience. 
  • WYSC members would be prioritized over non-WYSC members.

 

WYSC's Soccer Referee pay system / scale


Referees are an essential part of the successful operation of the travel and recreational soccer programs at Warrenton Youth Sports Club.  Accordingly, we make every effort to reward our most dedicated and experienced referees.

All referees starting pay scale would be at the low level as detailed below. However at the end of the season, your scale level might increase if you meet the following conditions. As an example, if last season you were paid at a high scale and you met the performance conditions listed below, you will be paid at a high scale level:

  • experience
  • performance before, during and after all games
  • communication
  • proper uniform (all 2nd season referees are required to have two different color referee jerseys, one must be black)
  • attendance at mandatory meeting and any training events.
