All referees, thank you for your time and commitment to Augusta FC!

Interested in Refereeing?

No prior soccer experience is needed to become a referee, only an interest in learning. Augusta FC pays for your supplies, offers local training to help get you started and has a great support network of our own referees to guide you and offer feedback and assistance. Also, refereeing is a great way for players 13 and older to learn the game and make some extra money. We would be more than happy to discuss the details with you. Please send us an email at and let us know you are interested in learning more.

In the meantime, take this quick test to see if you’re ready to be a referee!
