Gold Nugget Soccer Club has a vibrant youth referee program, and there are opportunities for youth 13 years old and up, and adults. First-time referees must obtain a United States Soccer Federation (USSF) Grassroots license, and candidates for a Grassroots class must be 13 years old to register for the class. The class is a combination of online and in-person. Local classes are available - please visit California North Referee Administration website (cnra.net) for information and class schedules. Gold Nugget Soccer Club will host a local in June - check back here for more details.
Gold Nugget Soccer offers a Youth Fellowship Grant Program to qualifying youth referee candidates. If you are interested in applying, please complete the Referee Fellowship Grant Application by June 15, 2026.
