FALL 2026 REFEREE REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED

Fall 2026 Referee Training will be held September 13th, 10am-12pm at the West Middle School gym.  New Referees are required to attend before being a referee this spring.  Referees who did NOT attend training in Spring 2026 are required to attend before being a referee this spring.  Referees who did attend in Spring 2026 are encourage to attend as a refresher, but it is not required.  

All intown referees must register each season (fall/spring), both new and returning referees.  

To be eligible to be a referee you must be in grades 7-12, and either live in Andover, attend school in Andover, or have a parent who works in the Andover Public School system.

Seasonal Registration is a TWO STEP Process - First with ASA (here), then with MYSA.  Referees who do not register with both ASA and MYSA seasonally will not be allowed to referee intown games.

After registering with ASA,  please proceed to the MYSA Genesis Referee Program.  Please remember ALL REFEREES are REQUIRED TO REGISTER on MYSA's website.

To register with MYSA use this link:
https://www.mayouthsoccer.org/genesis-referee-program/

After successful MYSA registration, you will receive a confirmation email from them in about 48 hours.

This registration is different than the one you complete here on ASA's website.

For more information or any questions email [email protected]  In addition, the travel league that ASA plays in, Essex County Youth Soccer Association (ECYSA), is in desperate need of more referees, including adults.  The per game stiped for ECYSA is as competitive as many club programs.  If you or anyone you know might be interested in learning more about how to become a travel referee please email [email protected]

ASA believes no child should be denied the opportunity to play soccer due to financial hardship. Financial assistance is available for our Fall and Spring seasons.

Travel soccer is a fall and spring commitment - the fall season prepares teams for the competitive spring season.

ASA understands that some players are not able to play both the fall and spring seasons and does its best to accommodate players regardless of commitment.  However, based on prior years ASA has learned that most families who register for Fall ONLY ask to add spring at a later date. In order to have a more accurate idea of the number of players who are committed to the full Travel soccer year (fall and spring), and to minimize registration issues, we would like to encourage players to sign up for the Fall 2026 Spring 2027 season. 

IMPORTANT:  Players who register for Fall or Spring ONLY are not eligible to be placed on a top team for their age group.  Additionally, if a player who is registered for the full year and is placed on a top team withdraws for the spring season, they will not be eligible to be placed on a top team the following year.  Refer to the ASA Assessment section https://www.andoversoccer.org/playerassessment for more information.

In addition,  upon registration parents and players agree to abide by the Code of Conduct set forth by ASA, ECYSA, and MYSA.  They also agree that they are aware that players are not allowed to switch travel teams by request.

If your player is only able to commit to the Fall season (will not add spring), please contact the Travel Registrar for help with registering your player at [email protected]. 

PARENTS OF TWINS:  Parents should let ASA know if they want their twins on the same team, regardless of whether the assessment committee feels they should be on separate teams based on ability level.  Email [email protected]

GRADE ELIGIBILITY FOR TRAVEL SOCCER 2026-2027*

*ASA is one of the largest towns in Essex County Youth Soccer Association. Due to our size, ASA is able to organize teams by grade allowing our players to grow and play with their classmates and friends. Most towns who participate in ECYSA are not large enough to do this. As a result, ASA Grade 5 teams play in ECYSA’s Grade 6 leagues and may compete against blended grade 5/6 teams. ASA's Grade 7 teams play in ECYSA’s Grade 8 leagues and may compete against blended grade 7/8 teams. 

Players must meet Grade AND Date of Birth Requirements for chosen Level.
 

ASA will be assessing goalkeepers in conjunction with the regular on-field assessments.  There is no additional cost to participate in goalkeeper assessments, but players need to be registered for Travel Fall 2026 Spring 2027 before attending.  Players also need to attend the scheduled on-field assessments.

Attending goalkeeper assessments does not guarantee that players will be the primary goalkeeper on their team.  The goal of goalkeeper assessments is to gauge the interest level of each player in goalkeeping, and to provide an additional piece of information about each player.  The goalkeeper assessment, along with coach evaluations and on-field assessments will help to determine placement for each player on the appropriate travel team.

ASA recognizes that we ask players to register months before the Travel season begins. Please know, our registration and refund dates are influenced by Essex County Youth Soccer Association's and Massachusetts Youth Soccer Association's team submission deadlines. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping ASA to register our teams on time with ECYSA and MYSA.

The Andover Soccer Association (ASA) Intown Referee Program is an incredible opportunity for all boys and girls in grades 7-12.

Our Referee Program will provide the opportunity to learn the basics of refereeing and to gain invaluable experience officiating real games for our intown 2nd and 3rd grade program for a per game stipend (stipends are paid out at the end of the season upon timely submission of all referee forms).  Referees will be able to provide their availability for which games fit their schedules.

All students in grades 7-12 are eligible to participate in the program.  All prospective referees are required to attend the ASA Referee Training Program within one calendar year of refereeing.
