Like NSA Recreation Soccer, the Rec Referee program emphasizes fun and learning.  It is an excellent confidence-builder and stepping-stone to lucrative Travel refereeing.

Rec refs can be from 13-17 and must have played in the NSA Recreation program. Referees should be experienced players who know the rules of the game at the level they are supervising. They will be overseen by the Recreation Director.
