How to Register for a Referee Training Course for Regions 43 and 45
- This assumes you have already checked the training calendar to figure out what courses you need to take and copied the corresponding ROSTER number(s).
- If you have any question regarding the signup process please email your Referee Administrator at rra@ayso45.org or, if you’re in R43, at rra@ayso43.org.
- Note: if you select the Basic Referee Online Companion Course (1 classroom session) you need to complete the online training first at www.AYSOU.org.
You should already have an BlueSombrero account if you registered as a volunteer before. If not, you can create one right before signing up to the course by clicking on REGISTER NOW in the upper right corner.
IMPORTANT:
- Be sure to use a VALID EMAIL address with your Blue Sombrero account (ideally the same email you used for your parent account on WebYouthSoccer, which is not linked to the national Blue Sombrero site)
- YOUTH VOLUNTEERS must sign up under their own Youth account, NOT a parent’s account. A parent can create a Youth account for them and use his/her own email address to be sure to receive messages from the instructor!
- Likewise A SPOUSE SHOULD NOT use or create his/her account to sign up his/her better half!
- Select AYSOU (this link takes you there directly)

Step 2: Select Login – Use the Blue Sombrero login


Step 3: Select LIVE COURSES

Select a date based on the training schedule on www.AYSO45.org/referees/training

Step 4: All courses that match your selection will be listed. Scroll until you find the one offered in 2/A/45 Mountain View. Click on REGISTER.

Please add the course(s) you selected to your personal calendar and be sure to attend. You should receive an email from the course instructor a few days before the class reminding you of the date and location. Instructors and other volunteers put a lot of hours into organizing courses each season. Make sure you communicate any change on your status!
Important:
- You must complete this online course before taking the companion class where several key areas will be reviewed and you will be taking the Basic Referee test.
- You can take this course at your own pace. Remember which sections you completed before resuming to the next section (the web site doesn’t keep a bookmark for you).
- Make a note of any question you may have during the course and be sure to bring them to the classroom session.
