Are you a referee who is interested in working for one of our leagues?

The Oregon Adult Soccer Association and, thereby, all of our member leagues are affiliates of the United States Soccer Federation; as such, our leagues can hire only USSF trained and certified officials.

If you are NOT currently registered through USSF, please contact the Oregon Referee Committee for information about upcoming entry-level referee courses or to determine your specific recertification requirements.

If you ARE currently registered with USSF, you should contact the league(s) that you wish to work for directly, as our leagues hire their own referees at their own discretion.

Are you a referee interested in pursuing an upgrade?

Contact the Oregon Referee Committee for information about the upgrade process or visit www.oregonreferee.com. Best of luck!

Need to file a complaint against a referee?

If you feel that the referee for your game was not qualified for the level of play to which they were assigned, or you believe that a particular referee is just not a good official in general, you should direct your concerns to your league. Each league hires their own referees, and may choose not to use certain officials if they receive negative feedback. If you need assistance determining the appropriate contact at your league, let us know and we can assist you.

If, on the other hand, you feel that the referee for your game was behaving unethically (e.g. making unjustified calls out of personal feelings of favoritism, racism, etc.), your complaint should be addressed to the Oregon Referee Committee - Professionalism Sub-Committee:

Oregon Referee Committee
Attn: Professionalism Sub-Committee
4840 SW Western Avenue, #2000
Beaverton, OR 97005
coordinator@oregonreferee.com

Please submit a well thought-out and, so far as possible, objective description of your experiences/observations. Remember that disagreeing with a call alone is not valid grounds for a professionalism complaint. Please include your own contact information (this will NOT be disclosed to the referee) and, if possible, provide names and contact information for others who may be called upon to provide corroborating statements.
