ADMIN REQUIREMENTS

There are multiple systems to navigate, but three are the most important:


  • CNRA (via GameOfficials.net):
  • Prospective Referees must register with CNRA in order to get trained.
  • Returning Referees must renew your registration with CNRA in order to keep your certification current.
  • PENSRA (pensra.org)
  • This site requires a separate registration as well. It is where you will sign up for all SF Youth Soccer matches (and other league games as well - your certification makes you eligible to ref games in and out of San Francisco as well).
  • Report Game scores in PENSRA to get paid.
  • Make sure to include the name of the Team STARs in your report.
