What are my first steps?

1. Decide on your pathway:

-Do you want to officiate US Soccer club matches, including but not limited to rec and grassroots? Then, USSF is your pathway.

-Do you want to officiate Middle School and High School games? Then, TSSAA is your pathway.

-Do you want to officiate both? Then, become both a USSF and TSSAA soccer official.

2. Register to become an official:

-Further instructions are detailed in the New USSF Referee and New TSSAA Referee pages

-USSF Assignor: Jesse Brown (jrbrown.official@gmail.com)

-TSSAA Assignor: Joeri Werbrouck (joeriwerbrouck@gmail.com)

3. Acess your Arbiter account:

-Upload an image to your profile. This helps assignors and other referees identify who you are

-Update your contact information. Emails are sent regularly from assignors as well as game details. Make sure you connect an email you check regularly.

-Manage your blocks. If there are days and times you cannot work, block those dates and times. Too many assignment turnbacks may affect how many matches you receive in the future.

-For more information regarding Arbiter, contact your assignor. Communication is key!
