US Youth Soccer

Referees

Welcome MRL Referees. As you know, this league features the highest level of youth soccer in the Midwest, with the best teams from our 14-state area earning the right to compete in regional league play. The level of competition is comparable to games at the Regionals and late round State Cup competition. Games are hotly contested and extremely competitive. Teams are battling for Wild Card slots into the Regionals, maintain their standings in the Premier Division or earn promotion from the First Division to the Premier Division.

Teams, coaches and parents expect the very best from referees. Our league strives to provide everyone with the best environment for youth soccer competition. Your acceptance of games in the MRL demonstrates your desire to officiate at the highest levels of youth soccer and we appreciate the hours of dedication you have invested in reaching this level. Good luck with your games. We want to hear from you with your feedback regarding refereeing in the MRL.
