Welcome to the Manchester North Soccer League website page for referees
The emphasis of our program for referees is to assist them in developing skills that will enable them to call games more consistently, recognize the need to make decisions based on a variety of situations and circumstances and to help instill a growing sense of confidence and pride in the work they do while officiating games.
ATTENTION:
We utilize a referee assignment system. All referees will need to create a free referee account here Note: If you already have a Got Soccer referee account, simply search for the MNSL Fall Season event to sign up to ref games for North.
