STAR Referee Program (Special Team Assistant Referees)
The NCSL STAR Program provides trained certified (Grade 9) assistant referees to U12 and U13 matches when neutral assistant referees are not assigned.
1. STARs are expected to help others appreciate the difficult role of a referee in competitive youth soccer.
2. STARs are encouraged to officiate other games in NCSL, their house leagues, or elsewhere to gain experience and additional insight into the art of soccer officiating. NCSL strongly encourages STARs to serve as assistant referees for other NCSL matches, especially those games that are immediately prior
to or immediately following their match. However, if selected by their team to serve as a STAR, their primary duty on game day is to the team, not officiating other matches.
