WOSOA
Spring 2025 NWOYSL games in Ottawa and Kalida and BPYSL games at Kalida and Allen East, Findlay & Sidney High Schools are published below.
There are still many open slots.
U9 and U10 games are single referee assignments for adults or experienced youth referees.
BPYSL are higher level games for experienced adult referees.
BPYSL Center pay is substantially increased, and AR pay is up slightly.
Don't forget to renew your certification. I can't assign you without a 2025 license, verified by OSSRC or US Soccer, and current (June of 2022, or later) concussion training.
Review US Soccer's new REFEREE ABUSE POLICY. Know what do if it happens to you.
Before you go... ALWAYS check for field closings.

Check the schedule often. Things change. Openings come up.
Request OPEN games by game number from our local assignor Roger Scott (rescott@woh.rr.com) via email. Use the green button! He will assign games based on your experience and game level.

THIS IS IMPORTANT. You cannot be assigned if you don't do this!
Ohio South referees must be certified for 2025. If you are not published in the referee roster on OSSRC.com, you are not certified for 2025. You may be missing your background check, SafeSport training, or documentation of your concussion training, and it takes up to 2 weeks after all is completed for your paperwork to be processed and finalized. If you believe there is an error, contact Charlie Keaney at OSSRC.
Out of state referees, including Ohio North:
1. I will verify you have a current USSF referee license using the on-line directory on the US Soccer website.
2. The referee must send a copy of his/her National High School Federation or CDC concussion certificate to the Ohio South assignor. Concussion training taken within the prior three years is required by State of Ohio law. I will not assign you if the 3 years expires before the end of the current season.
NWOYSL
Game Reports…. Each team will be required to print a game report off. Add your name to the report. At the end of the game, write down the score and any cautions or send-offs and any other notable issues on both copies and return to the team manager or coach.
Properly check in all players and coaches before the onset of every game. This is done by verifying each player/coach pass and a copy of the game day rosters. All players & coaches must carry a NWOYSL pass physically in their hands, no electronic copies. No other passes are permitted while playing in a NWOYSL game. All Player Passes will have the NWOYSL logo on the card. Again, if the pass – does not have the NYOYSL logo – it is not a legal pass in our league.
You are required to “Print” your name on all Game Reports. The League must be able to read all names on the Game Reports to verify you are a certified referee.
Each team is asked to give you a copy of the game day report. HOME team is responsible to turning in the game report form to the league office.
