Can a teenager referee our youth games and what do we need?

Your options, best first

#1 Do it yourself

Check league rules for young officials

  1. Ask your league or governing body for the minimum age and training for officials.
  2. Get written parent permission for any under-18 official.
  3. Pair each young official with an experienced mentor.
  4. Brief coaches and parents on sideline conduct before the season.
  5. Provide a contact for the young official if a spectator is abusive.

Safety: Credential scope and age eligibility vary by league; follow the league's youth-safeguarding policy.

Stop and call a pro if: A young official is threatened or harassed: remove them from the game and report.
