Step onto the Field in a Whole New Way
SABR, in partnership with Florida Soccer Referees (FSR), is recruiting Futures Referees — a new program for players ages 11–13 (birthdays between Nov 1, 2011 – Nov 1, 2014) who are not yet old enough to be certified referees.
This is your chance to learn, earn, and grow in the game before becoming a certified referee at age 14.
How It Works
- Role: Serve as Assistant Referees (line judges) for U9 & U10 games.
- Schedule: Saturdays during the season.
- Support: Each game has a certified referee and sideline mentor.
- Pay: $15 per game now — and $23+ per game once certified at age 14.
Why Join?
- Earn money doing something you love
- Gain confidence and leadership skills
- Learn responsibility and teamwork
- Take the first step toward becoming a certified referee
- Futures Referee registration fee includes your uniform kit (jersey, whistle, coin, and cards)
💡 Bonus: SABR reimburses the $40 fee after just your first 8 games this season!
Spaces are limited to only 20 participants this fall. First come first served. You’ll get plenty of real game experience with your mentor standing by to help.
