If you do not actively officiate, and only assess, instruct, assign, mentor, etc., you can register for a reduced fee.
To do so, please follow the annual registration process on RefCentre, but do not pay online. Rather, select PAY BY CHEQUE and email your receipt to matchofficials@ontariosoccer.net indicating that you wish to complete the DST member only registration. This allows us to process your discounted fee offline and approve your registration.
The Respect in Sport (RiS) Program has been an integral part of creating a safe and respectful sport environment for soccer in Ontario. A newly created Officials Module was released in 2021, and is mandatory for registered Match Officials. The training costs $20 and the certificate is valid for a period of five (5) years.
Certification is also valid and transferable across all sports. Please complete your 2025 requirements here: https://ontariosoccer-officials.respectgroupinc.com/
For more information on the program, please scroll down to the RESPECT IN SPORT section.
If you have any questions about your Respect In Sport account please email RiS directly.
Ontario Soccer has partnered with the Respect Group to provide online education for coaches, referees and parents to help create a safe, healthy, and positive environment for children and youth involved in soccer.
The Respect in Sport Program assists coaches, referees, trainers and managers with identifying and dealing with abuse, neglect, harassment and bullying in sport.
The Respect in Sport Officials certification is a required component of renewing your license as a Match Official. This certification expires every 5 years and must be renewed prior registering. This certification applies to all Match Officials grade 4-10 and Grade 1 Officials over the age of 16. See documents below for further information.
Canada Soccer rules state "A Referee who has failed to register as a Referee with Canada Soccer for 2 consecutive seasons shall not be re-registered until an application has been considered by the Member Association within whose area the Referee resides at the time of application for re-registration."
Ontario Soccer will be inviting any whose registration expired on March 31, 2024 or more recently, to simply re-register.
If your last registration expired March 31, 2023 or prior, you will need to retake the Entry Level clinic. Please click here for information on the clinic process.
