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.
