2009 REFEREE REGISTRATION
As of April 1st, 2009 all the 2008 referee registrations expire. In order to referee after March 31st, and to have insurance coverage under the OSA's insurance referees have to renew their registration. Make sure you are registered ASAP.
HOW TO REGISTER
The only option a referee has to register in 2009 is to down load the 2009 referee registration form below and mail it into the OSA office. In 2009 the On-Line option will not be available.
NEW FOR 2009
Every referee starting in 2009 will be required to sign an additional document when registering. If the referee is 18 or older (date of registration) the referee will be required to sign a referee waiver form. If the referee is under 18 (date of registration) the referee and parent/guardian will both be required to sign the referee participants’ agreement form.
Please note that due to this change there are two separate Referee Registration forms below. Be sure to print and complete the appropriate form.
NOTE: If this form is not signed the referee will not be registered, no exceptions and the form will be sent back to the referee and the referee will be asked to sign it.

CHANGE IN CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
As of January 1st 2009 there is a new Classification system in place in Ontario as required by the Canadian S.A. Every referee in the province will be affected by this change and will have a new classification. This is not an upgrade just a simple name change.
New Classification System Old Classification System
International Referee FIFA Referee
National Referee National Referee
Provincial Referee Class 1 Referee
Regional Referee Class 2 Referee
District Referee Class 3 referees or Class 4 referee who is 16 & older
Youth Referee Class 4 referees under 16
2009 REFEREE REGISTRATION FEES
Youth Referee $25.00
(14 & 15 years old)
District Referee $40.00
(16 & 17 years old)
District Referee $80.00
(18 years old and older)
Regional & Provincial $130.00
(Registration $80; maintenance assessment $50)
National & International: $180.00
(Registration $80; CSA fee $100)
All referee fees will be based on date of registration not as of April 1st
Due to the delay in launching the 2009 registration process, the OSA has extended the registration deadline. Be sure to get yourself registered before May 1st to avoid paying the $15.00 late fee.
Reminder that only referees that have registered within the past two seasons may register. If a referee has taken more then two seasons off between registrations (meaning a referee has not registered since at least 2006) the referee must complete a Referee Reinstatement form and be reinstated by the Manager of Referee Development before being able to register. Click here for a copy of the Reinstatement Form.
New Referees
Just a reminder that all new referees must attend a Mini Soccer Referee Course, if the referee is 12 or 13 or the Entry Level Referees course, if the referee is 14 or older. The cost of each course includes the referees' first year registration as well as the clinic fee. A new referee may not skip this step and register directly without attending the entry level course or mini soccer referee course.
