Step 1  
– Go to 
http://www.risrc.net/referees/new-referee-info/new-
referee/
 for complete information to become a referee in Rhode
Island.
Step 2 
– Create an account on the US Soccer Learning Center website
(
learning.ussoccer.com/referee
). If you are over 18 years old, you will
also need to complete a background check BEFORE you can register
for any referee courses (the cost is usually around $30 and the
background check is good for 2 years). It is recommended that
people for whom this applies begin the process at least 2 to 3
weeks 
BEFORE 
the course date.  US Soccer policy states that 
NO ONE
can attend any in-person session unless the background check has
cleared.
Step 3
 – Once the background check is done (if you need it), you’ll be
able to register for any New Grassroots Referee class. You’ll need to
finish four online training modules before attending the in-person
class. You can do the modules at your own pace, and you can
stop/start as often as you’d like. The modules usually take about 4
hours total to complete.
Step 4 
– Each New Grassroots Referee class has an in-person session
where you will learn the basics of signals, positioning, how to use a
whistle, and other referee-related skills. You will be asked to bring
your whistle and a flag to the in-person clinic. Once the in-person
clinic is completed and you’ve finished the online modules, you
become a registered referee.
