Other Fees/Charges
All referees must register on the OSAA website (through Arbiter) and pay the required fee (appx. $67.00). All games fees, not including mileage, will be assessed a 7% commissioner’s fee and a 1% association fee. This fee is consistent with other soccer official’s organizations across the state. Fees cover the cost of liability insurance, OSAA/OAOA membership, rule books, badges, and background checks, training expenses, educational materials, facility rental, website fees, and various other expenses.
Note: All fees are subject to change. The fees are taken out of your checks, so there is no out of pocket expense
