Referee Resources

WSSL does not certify or schedule referees. Each individual club has a referee assignor who schedules games for their club. Some clubs share a single assignor. Information on getting certified, contact info for local and statewide assignors, contact info for reporting verbal/physical referee abuse, the FIFA Laws of the Game and more can all be found at https://www.michiganrefs.org
