We directly assign referees for all Pee Wee games up through U10. For U11 and higher, the referees are under the auspices of the North Shore Youth Soccer Association, and are assigned by them. All the youth soccer clubs on the North Shore subscribe to the same set of rules for Pee Wee play, so a standardized referee training system is in place. Therefore, youth referees are eligible to officiate at any of the youth games provided they have qualifications required for that particular level. It is important for coaches and parents to realize that encouraging and fostering the education of the referee is their responsibility, as well as caring for their own team.

Each soccer club receives a list of course participants who passed the course and then they will be called once the schedules are issued in the fall to start refereeing!
In addition, students can now earn extra external credits through their involvement with coaching and officials development. More information can be found on the Ministry of Education website www.bced.gov.bc.ca
All five youth clubs on the north shore use the same mini-soccer rules for peewee games. Note that the rules differ from the FIFA rules for peewee taught during the class 5 course. All referees should familiarize themselves with the age group specific rules before refereeing a peewee game.
You will find a copy of the mini soccer rules here: MiniSoccer Rules.pdf
Other course information can be found on the BC Soccer web-site navigate to it from www.bcsoccer.net, i.e. access "Technical --> Refereeing --> Referee Clinics
Any referee who takes a class 5 course not through North Van Rec will want to contact one of the 5 north shore youth clubs to get their name & number into the list used for assigning peewee (U6-U10) games.
