Our Mission

The Colorado Referee Committee promotes and carries out the National Program for Referee Development for all affiliated soccer within Colorado. The Committee sets policies within the state within the confines of the governing documents of U.S. Soccer and the National Program for Referee Development.

Our job is to TRAIN, PROMOTE, AND RETAIN REFEREES as outlined by the National Program.
The Spring 2014 Boys U12-19 and Girls U12-13 and U19 CYS State Cup and the Boys U14-18 CYS Presidents Cup begins on March 11, 2014.
