Information for Referees, and Information about Refereeing
We hope this page will become a resource, not only for our referees, but also for our players, their parents, coaches, and fans. LHSA works closely with North Texas Soccer and the United States Soccer Federation for our referee programs, and much of the information available here comes from them. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to read many of their documents.
Referee Registration is now online
All LHSA referees (officials) must now be registered online to assist us in assigning games and keeping in contact. At this time the registration is free. Referees only need to register online once; do not register each season or year. If you need to update your contact information, call the office or update your profile online [ details on how to update online will be provided later].
To register click here. On the online registration page, click on the "Umpire/Referee Registration," complete all required information and click continue at the bottom of the page. On the next screen please verify the information and then click "continue." On the next page click "ok" at the bottom to finish your registration as a Referee.
Risk Management Forms for Coaches, Managers, Referees and other Volunteers
LHSA and its parent organization, NTSSA, have required all coaches, managers, adult referees and other volunteers to fill-out the Volunteer Application form, commonly referred to as the Risk Management Form, which was used to check the background on our volunteers to protect the children from exposure to unsavory characters. We now have a better method of doing this with an ONLINE form---which makes it easier to use, avoids the existence of paper containing any confidential information which had to flow through the LHSA office, allows the clearance determination to be obtained immediately by the volunteer, and can be done well in advance of the coaches meeting (we will not be giving out Volunteer cards to anyone who has not been cleared through the new system). ALL COACHES, MANAGERS, ADULT REFEREES, AND OTHER VOLUNTEERS ARE REQUESTED TO IMMEDIATELY COMPLETE THIS FORM. Please click the Volunteer page on the left for more details on this confidential, easy to use system, and to find the link to the online site for completion of this form.

Laws of the Game
FIFA makes minor changes to the Laws of the Game every few years. Every coach and team must be familiar with these new changes. A complete current edition of the Laws of the Game is available online, in HTML or PDF format. For those unfamiliar with soccer's Laws, the "letter of the law" is very simple, and parents would find many of their questions answered by reading through the Laws.
Update: FAQ's on Laws of the Game page now has an interactive guide to the Laws of the game.

How do I become a Referee?
We get this question frequently, and we are excited that so many youth want to try their hand at officiating!
There are two requirements:
Hey! Why wasn't that a foul? and other information
To whom do I complain about the refereeing at a LHSA Game?
Your first source of information about the Laws of the Game (other than the Laws themselves) should be your coach. If your coach cannot satisfactorily explain your question, please contact our Referee Representative. Click here to download contact information (PDF).
