Eastview Athletic Association

Welcome to the Eastview Athletic Association Soccer Referee page.

There are several steps to becoming a referee for the EVAA Soccer program. The first is to get your certification from the Minnesota State Referee Committee. You need to have a minimum of a grade 9 certification in order to participate as a referee for EVAA. Certification requires paying a registration fee to the United States Soccer Foundation (USSF) and an administrative fee for the State of Minnesota.

Here are some links to help get you started:

Once you complete the your certification or recertification, you can sign-up to be a referee for the Eastview Soccer program. As soon as you are ready please register yourself at RefCoord.com and indicate that you would like to have access to the Eastview In-house soccer program. This is the Web site we use for scheduling or soccer games and where you will sign-up for the games you want to referee.

If you have any questions about becoming a referee, please send an email to Ken Blomquist at kenblomquist@charter.net.

Pay is $15.00 - $20.00 per game for assistant referees and $20.00 - $30.00 center referees. $10.00 for trainees, who will be paired up with an experienced ref.

Please make calls with authority. Loudly blow the whistle. Be clear in your voice and actions in regards to communicating call. Please meet with and clarify any concerns with coaches prior to start of game. Coaches, parents, and players have signed EVAA code of conduct which includes provision for being respectful to referees. Please inform Ken if you have problems with anyone in violation of code ASAP.

Thanks for being a part of the EVAA In House Soccer program!!!!
