The Mount Pearl Soccer Association is helping local teens and adults get ready for the upcoming summer season by hosting a referee course on April 25, 2026.
The organization, which serves more than 1,500 players, relies on volunteers and local training to manage its league games. With the Newfoundland and Labrador Soccer Association setting the certification standards, these courses serve as an entry point for many new referees. The certification is part of a broader need for officials, as youth soccer leagues across Canada have faced ongoing shortages of referees in recent years.
The association aims to have referees prepared and certified before the summer season kicks off. Interested individuals should contact the Mount Pearl Soccer Association at their clubhouse at 44 Arena Road for details on current and upcoming certification opportunities.
