Important to Note:

Understand that being a registered TSSAA official or USSF official does not guarantee you will be assigned matches and that assignments are made based on the experience and knowledge of the Scheduling Officer(s). TVSRA will attempt, but shall not be bound, to assign officials based on their expertise and qualifications.

NOTE: New members should not expect to be assigned to high-level matches until they have at least two years of officiating experience (NFHS, USSF, AYSO, etc.) unless they reveal special circumstances which demonstrate an accelerated understanding of soccer and officiating (such as playing at a high level).


TVSRA typically meets on the 3rd Monday of each month at 7:00 pm at one of the local high schools.

The meeting includes 1 hour of High School and/or USSF soccer training and instruction, then a short business meeting.
