WPASOA - About Us

The Westchester Putnam Board of Approved Soccer Officials is comprised of referees certified to officiate Section I high school games in Westchester and Putnam County. These games are assigned by Southern Westchester Board of Cooperative Educational Services (SW-BOCES) operating out of Elmsford NY. We do not serve any other school organizations.

Our referees officiate games for both Girls' and Boys' soccer at the varsity, junior varsity and modified (seventh and eighth grade) levels. During the course of the regular season, we use a "two-man system."

Our association is chartered under the New York State Certified Officials of Soccer, NYSCOS . Our constitution and by-laws may be found under Member Information. We provide the course and certification for new referees (see Becoming a Referee) clinics and annual certification testing.

We have an elected six-member Executive Board.
