There are more than 30 games a week on our fields, and Uxbridge and Scugog referees are out there, rain or shine, making sure everyone stays safe, has fun and learns the rules of the game .

Each year we recruit new referees of all ages (13 - Adult) to join our team. Refereeing is a great way to stay in shape, watch some great soccer and have a great part-time job. 

Regulations require that the minimum age be 12 years old as of March 31 and that every referee be at least 2 years older than the age group for which they are officiating. Because of this, we are particularly interested in hearing from teens 14+ and adults interested in officiating.

we are recruiting now for new referees
