GotSport
If you have not made a GotSport account, you will need to make one. If you have already made one as a player to sign up for a team, follow the links below. Your assignor will email you the registration link.
Here is a video tutorial to show you the sign-up process: https://youtu.be/bPOqJmLk5iI
GotSport Registration
Making an Account
- Officials over 18 can simply make their own account.
- Officials under 18 that have had their parents register them for something in GotSport will have to make their own username and password.
Instructions
- Log into parent’s account.
- Go to Account > Family and click on the child.
- On the child’s account, go to Account.
- Make them their own username/password and click save.
- Log into their account using their own username and password, not the parents
Registration
- You will be emailed a GotSport registration link from an assignor.
- You must go through this link to be assigned. It will be different for each league or tournament.
Tax/Direct Deposits
- All officials who have not sent a W-9 to the VSA should complete a W-9 and upload it to our dropbox link here.
- You are labeled as an independent contractor. You will receive a 1099 if you make over $600 from a single paying party.
- All officials should also upload a Direct Deposit Authorization Form to the Vermont Soccer Association dropbox link.
Equipment
- If you are a first-time referee, you should have already purchased or be in the process of ordering your starter kit.
- You must wear the official USSF uniform for every game including shirt, shorts and socks.
- Starter kits can be found here: https://officialsports.com/off-field-apparel/starter-kits/
- Please order a Yellow uniform as your primary color. It is also recommended you purchase a secondary color (we suggest Red). Any other additional colors you wish to purchase can be your preference.
