Coaches & Referees
For Coaches
Check in about an hour before your first match at Tournament HQ. Bring your Game Cards and Player Release Forms. You may be asked to return with the team for individual player checks.
Each team needs five game cards (3 pool, 1 medal round, 1 shootout). Fill rosters in numerical order (Excel or Google Sheets works well). Every player takes part in the Shootout; hand the Shootout Card to coordinators. One goalkeeper per shootout; three shootouts total.
For Referees
Required: All referees must register using the form below (in addition to a coach’s nomination signed by the Regional Commissioner).
Check in at Tournament HQ at least 30 minutes before your assignment so your match is recorded and credited to your region. Stand-by referees check in 15 minutes before and wait 5 minutes after kick-off in case a substitution is needed.
Each region completes 9 matches (typically 3 referees × 3 matches) to receive the full $225 deposit refund. Standard AYSO kit (whistle, watch, flags, cards); arrive early and be ready for back-to-back matches.
