To all soccer parents, fans and coaches: The referees are our kids and these refs are learning their roles. Be courteous to them and support them as they learn by promoting good sportsmanship and being positive in your comments to them. Being a referee is not easy, don’t make it harder.
Referees for the Tomah Youth Soccer games are paid at a rate based upon the age of the game and the responsibilities during the game. The following are the current referee wages:
U5 to U8 - Two refs are used during these games. Each ref makes $10.00 per game.
U9 to U10 - Two refs are used during these games. Each ref makes what is referred to as "Age + $5.00" Ex - If you are a ref for a U9 team you make $9.00 + $5.00 = $14.00.
U11 + - Three refs are used for all U11 and older games. Each of the refs receives "Age + $5.00." The center ref receives an additional $5.00/game. Ex - If you are an assistant ref for a U15 game you will make $15.00 + $5.00 = $20.00/game. The center ref for the same game would make $25.00/game.
