Dear referee candidates,
Step 1
Available Courses
Clinics offered by PYSC with assistance from our sister club PCSA and our District ECOSA are
Small Sided Clinic on Saturday May 3 at Esatgate it already full. Please refrain from asking to be added to waiting list or how you can get in because the registration is run and controlled by Ontario Soccer not the club and if it is full it is full meaning all 25 spots are taken by people who registered ( it’s first come first served) and they have paid in full.
If you are still interested to register for a small sided clinic check the refcentre page for any open clinic in the District or province.
HEADS UP
I WILL BE OFFERING ONE MORE SMALL SIDED CLINIC HERE IN TOWN AT EASTGATE ON SATURDAY MAY 10 AND WILL GO LIVE ON REFCENTRE WITHIN 72 HOURS I HOPE AND THIS ONE NEEDS A CODE. IF YOU’RE A REF OF ECOSA DISTRICT THEN I WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH THE CODE WHEN CLINIC OPENS. AGAIN IT WILL BE FIRST COME FIRST SERVED AMONGST PEOPLE IN THE DISTRICT AND FEW DAYS AFTER WILL BE OPEN TO ALL.
Entry Level Clinic on Saturday May 31 at Trent University ( see OS link below for full details)
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ENTRY LEVEL ON MAY 31 IS GETTING FULL ALMOST. IT IS OPEN AND FIRST COME FIRST SERVED. IF YOU MISS OUT CHECK OUT ANY OTHER CLINIC IN THE PROVINCE YOU CAN GET IN IF YOU’RE STILL INTERESTED.
If you can’t attend these clinics go anywhere you can in the province, PYSC will still enter you in the list after you pass successfully and let us know.

Details:
If you have never refereed and are considering to ref this year, please note that since 2025 registration for refs clinics for new refs is now hosted by clubs and Districts with assistance from Ontario Soccer, so people who are interested on becoming refs need to follow the instructions of Ontario Soccer directly from their website; the refs clinics are split into two parts: Part one: theory offered on line by Ontario Soccer and then Part two: practice in person offered locally by District or/and clubs ( our District usually plan to host in person session here , usually April or May with precise dates and times to be posted by Ontario Soccer and ECOSA when details are finalized).
First step though for you if interested is to wait for OS page to be activated.
Each late February or early March the Ontario Soccer posts the info for any potential interested candidate online so please look it up.
To search for upcoming clinics please follow this link
To see clinics offered you can find the information directly at anytime on Ontario Soccer’s website including latest updates on their website under MATCH OFFICIALS icon.
https://www.ontariosoccer.net/referee-clinics
ONLY AFTER YOU FINISH the online modules with Ontario Soccer than you will do the IN PERSON TRAINING sessions which is usually offered locally ( you will know the dates because they will be posted on ECOSA’s website and ours but only after they have been established) and only after you finish both, theory and practice then you’re fully qualified.
Again, remember, you will get the information about the in person session after you’ve done your online modules either through your District or through your club.
Thank you,
Fevri Pazari
PYSC Head Ref
