The New Hampshire State Referee Committee (NHSRC), in conjunction with U.S. Soccer, is committed to producing a variety of referee education resources aimed at supporting the approximate 600 members across the state that service amateur games at the youth and adult levels.
In addition to supporting development within the State, the NHSRC also focuses on identifying officials with the potential to succeed at regional and national events for identification to the professional and international level. To further these efforts, the NHSRC assigns a network of highly qualified staff to various events and league matches to identify the program’s up-and-coming and top performing officials.

Referees enter as First Time Referees and their license is active for the year that the coursework is completed for and the year their badge states. Referees interested in working higher levels of competition can work to upgrade the license to Regional Referee, and so on, when all licensure requirements are met. All referee licenses must be renewed each year. For more information, use the buttons above for each license type.
Futsal and Beach referees require a separate license from the other referee licenses in the US Soccer Referee pathway. For more information, use the links below.

Per U.S. Soccer, officials must be a minimum age of 13 years old in order to register to become a certified referee.
In addition to the normal course work, any referee who is age 18 or older, or will turn 18 during that registration year, must also complete the following:
- Background Screening (every two years)
- SafeSport training (every year)
If requirements expire or you turn 18, you will receive a license suspension email from US Soccer.
