Laws of the Game

(Official IFAB updated May 2019)

The NJ State Referee Committee with the U.S. Soccer Federation Referee Program teaches from the IFAB official Laws of the Game.  While not all of these rules are applicable to MUSC Recreation games and there are specific local policies, knowing the LOTG (Laws of the Game) and having them on hand while at the fields may be very valuable to you while working.

1. 13 years or older

2. Have held a Grassroots license for a minimum of one (1) year within the last 3 years


Course Requirements
