Cedar Rapids Area Training

We offer FREE training to any AYSO volunteer wanting referee training. Additionally, we provide FREE referee gear to anyone who completes the training and is willing to referee for us ($90 value). All that you have to do is the online AYSOU training, follow up with a review session with an instructor and be willing to help give our players a SAFE, FAIR, FUN environment to learn and play!

​

Our next review is:

Everyone must register for the class online using the AYSOU website, as well as register as a volunteer with the Referee Role on Sports Connect. Failure to do so will impact our ability to give you credit for passing the class. Instructions are below. We highly recommend following the instructions below as the sites can be confusing. Be sure to take the CDC Concussion Training and AYSO Safe Haven training as well.
