[quote=Anonymous]If you take it seriously, ref a lot.  Do it at all different levels and in different positions.  Every match can make you better.

(That said, I do no more than 5 matches per day, and no more than 3 in a row.)

Get on EVERY assignor's list in your area.  You never know who will have a piece of a tournament you want to do.

If you are under 18, just pick up lots of games.  Find assignors who have the games on the fields closest to you.  Being an AR for MLSNext HD can be easier than centering a U12 rec game, and it helps to see the way different CRs handle the game (and how they fail to handle the game properly, although keep those thoughts to yourself).

Once you are 18+, start centering at a higher level.  It's easy to get matches at big tournaments, because there are so many levels -- and so many total matches.  E.g., you can go to the Jeff Cup site and sign up with CVSRA, and they'll give you as much as you want.  Regular area assignors handle tournaments like WAGS, Bethesda, etc.

Because of all the referee abuse, top level league youth matches are easy to pick up. MLSNext HD and ECNL matches have CR spots open the day before, for matches that pay $100-$110.  It feels like nobody really wants them.
