What do I need to do to be able to referee a DeAnza Youth Soccer game: You need to have a current USSF grade 8 (and better) certificate (all referees), plus attending a field clinic (for new referees).


Mentor Program: DeAnza Youth Soccer League provides mentors to the new referees and those who wish to improve their skills. You can ask for a mentor, or the referee coordinator can assign a mentor to centain games for all the new referees.

Our mentors are experienced and trained USSF referees who have refereed for years and are willing to help new referees. Read more about it.

Laws of the Game: www.ussoccer.com/laws


USSF Memoranda - Amendments to the Laws of the Game and Decisions of the Board. ESSENTIAL reading for all referees, coaches and players.


DYSL Parent Code of Conduct This is what DYSL expects of it's parents and all spectators at games. We want to continue to create a positive environment for our players and this document spells out how we want to do this. Click here for a PDF version of this document.


DYSL Parent Referee Abuse Policy DYSL had empowered its referees to better control the behavior of spectators at games. They have been told to use the policy described in this document ONLY as a last resort after working with the coach and spectator. But we WILL enforce this with parents that are way out of hand and who make games miserable for players, referees and other spectators. Click here for a PDF version of this document.


Red Card policies & procedures (for referees):

Guidelines for the Fall season:
• Norcal – sign the game card and give it back to the coach, and record the score for yourself to update the arbiter
• CCSL – sign the game card and give it back to the coach, and record the score for yourself to update the arbiter
• Rec - keep the game card, and update the arbiter
