Go to
AYSOU.org and search for the Regional Referee Course and enroll. This may be out of region training and any fees will be reimbursed with a receipt. To find our class, search for Fountain Valley or 11/K/5.
Bring the Printout of the final page (looks like a certificate) that shows you did Safe Haven, and one that shows you did the Ref training.
