Becoming a Referee

If you are interested in becoming a referee for Indianola Soccer Tribe, please email Tribe at Indianolasoccer@gmail.com and then go here to read the required steps: https://www.iowasoccer.org/iowa-referee-committee-irc/

Once you complete the certification, please email our referee coordinator, Jeff Schortmann, schorjm@gmail.com to let him know so you
can be added to our distro list for scheduling games.

The Soccer Tribe will reimburse the cost of the course after each ref has refereed 10 games for us. We will also reimburse the recertification
fee each year after 10 games have been refereed that year. However, obtaining a referee uniform is the responsibility of each ref. A good website for purchasing a referee uniform is here:
https://officialsports.com/referee-uniforms/grassroots-referee/starter-kits/ (yellow is the normal color most refs wear).
