2009 marked the Province-wide launch of the new Entry Level Referee Course.
This course was designed by the Canadian Soccer Association with the aim of providing a more
uniform approach in teaching the Laws of the Game, leading to a greater degree of uniformity in the
understanding and application of the Laws across Canada.
The new Entry Level Referee Course focuses on practical training and the application of the Laws of the Game.
Prior to arriving at the course, participants are required to complete a Pre-Course Workbook,
thereby giving them a basic knowledge of the Laws before entering the classroom with one of the OSA's
qualified instructors. During the course, participants will engage in interactive, practical-based training sessions,
teaching them how to apply the Laws they touched upon in their pre-course work.
At the conclusion of the course, participants will write an exam on the material covered over the duration
of the course. Those who pass the examination will be certified as CSA District Referees
(if over the age of 16) or Youth Referees (if under the age of 16).
Please note that only those who have turned 14 years of age on or before March 31st of the current year
are eligible to take the Entry Level Referee Course.
For those under the age of 14, they are eligible to attend a Mini Soccer Referees Course
