Uniform

Certified BAYS/USSF referees (sometimes called Grassroots referees) are responsible for their own uniform purchase. A standard USSF referee kit consists of a gold referee shirt, solid black shorts, knee-length black socks (striped or solid), and predominantly black cleats or sneakers. Referee kits or individual items can be purchased online at Official Sports, Score Sports, or Capelli Sports; the store Soccer Stuff in Acton also sells referee gear.
In-Town referees will be provided with a black referee jersey after completion of the In-Town Referee workshop. They provide their own black shorts, socks, and cleats/shoes.
All referees also need a whistle, a wristwatch with a stopwatch function, a coin, and something to record game information (usually a pocket-sized notebook and pen). Certified BAYS/USSF referees also need red/yellow cards, and a pair of AR flags.
Referees who face financial difficulty in purchasing the items above should contact the ASC Referee Director.
