Payments are accepted directly through the ArbiterSports website using a debit/credit card, allowing for easier tracking of an Officials current membership status for CHSAA, HSSO, and Assignors.

Beginning Fall 2023, elimination of overtime during the regular season.
RATIONALE:
Eliminating overtime in the regular season aligns with the NCAA and was backed strongly by HSSO. Ties are already part of the game of soccer here in Colorado and are a possible outcome of every CHSAA game. Elimination of overtime reduces additional match time in an already packed fall and spring schedule while arriving at an outcome that is already possible with the previous two overtime format. Any regular season contests that are part of a CHSAA sanctioned tournament may use a shootout to advance a team in the bracket.
CHSAA will only utilize overtime during the Postseason Championship Tournament.
2024/25 -- Soccer
Varsity (3 officials) -- $ 90.00
Varsity (2 officials) -- $ 110.00
Sub-Varsity (2 officials) -- $ 65.00
Sub-Varsity (1 official) -- $ 90.00
This is the second year of the three-year increasing pay rate structure by CHSAA. We hope it will help CHSAA and HSSO retain our Referees and attract new members to help grow the high school game in Colorado.
Additionally, game fees will increase an additional $5 during the 2025/26 school year.
Travel: The $10 metro-area travel stipend will remain for the next 2 years. Outside the metro-area (20+ miles one way) the mileage rates will be as follows:
2024/25 -- $0.55/mile
2025/26 -- $0.60/mile
