Not only does Kaneland Soccer teach kids about playing soccer, but we also provide opportunities for boys and girls ages 10 and above to learn how to be soccer referees.
Our recreational referee development program helps younger referees and players learn more about the game by approaching it from a different point of view. And puts themĀ on a path for accreditation and "earning their patch", which leads to future earnings opportunities, and builds confidence by managing different situations
Our recreational referees are paid, so they also learn other important skills that come from the responsibility of having a job. The Club provides training opportunities and feedback to help referees learn and improve.
Younger referees start as lines people, move up to running U6 and U8 games, and older, more experienced refs run games with the older kids
