CELL Webinar Series

Soccer CELL Webinar Series

The Continuing Education – Lifelong Learning (CELL) Webinar Series aims to help referees and referee mentors / coaches increase their knowledge and improve their officiating and mentoring skills, respectively.

The 2026 U.S. Soccer CELL Webinar Series schedule has not been released yet. Once the schedule is received, it will be posted here.

Futsal CELL Webinar Series

We’re excited to continue our first-of-its-kind Futsal Continuing Education – Lifelong Learning (CELL) Webinar Series, which began in July 2025. As part of U.S. Soccer’s continued Futsal Initiative, this new educational series is designed for futsal referees of all levels — from beginner to advanced.

Each session will provide practical guidance on officiating futsal using futsal-specific rules, best practices, and real-world scenarios. Whether you’re actively working futsal matches or looking to get involved, these webinars will help elevate your understanding and performance.

Fall ’25 – Spring ’26 CELL Webinar Series Schedule

When U.S. Soccer sends out a signup link (approx. 2-3 weeks ahead of webinar), it will be added to the event on our calendar.

Invitations will also be sent to futsal officials 2–3 weeks ahead of each session. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to grow your futsal knowledge — and be part of something new!
