|  New Referee Clinics:
Become a Soccer Referee
Referees make between $35.00 to $65.76 as a Referee and $23.00 to $49.32 as an Assistant Referee. Kids have been able to easily make between $3,500 - $5,500 a year.
Refereeing is a great way for kids and adults to make money and there are games available to officiate year around.
