It looks like a lot of training, but most volunteers complete all the requirements in around 6-8 hours and most of that is online instruction you can take on your own schedule.
Report your availability to be on the schedule.

You can take the online courses at any time, but must complete the Regional Referee Training online course before attending the Regional Referee Online Companion course and taking the Referee Exam.
Contact the Region Commmissioner Michael Smith at [email protected] f you have any questions!
As a reminder: All Referees are required to take the new Concussion Training
Utah Law requires every Referee to take the concussion training. This in addition to the Safe Haven training is two of the most critical training's we can provide our volunteers. I am making this priority number one in the spring season because I want our children to be in the safest possible environment around. I ask that you support me in this goal to get 100% Concussion and safe haven training completed for all volunteers by the start of every season. I can assure you that this training is critical for all so that we can help identify signs, assist in corrective steps to get the players back on the pitch and most importantly learn how to prevent concussions. If you have any questions regarding this new mandate training please contact our Safety Director.
Thanks
Regional Referee Administrator Roy Region 286
