Always Free for Refs

Good Work Gets Rewarded.

TopRefHub is free for every referee. After a league invites you, claim open games. Officials claim open games. Your assignor approves who works. Get coach reviews that stay with the league that ran the game — and you can rate coaches back after the same 24-hour wait.

Join Free as a Referee How Ratings Work

Built for Refs

A modern, simple way to find games, claim what you’re eligible for, and get rewarded for good refereeing.

Mobile-First

Accept games, set availability, check in, and view tracked earnings from any phone browser — no app-store download. Built for rink-side.

Claim Open Games

Once a league invites you, browse that league's open slots and claim games that fit your schedule. Silver and Gold head start is optional and off unless the league turns it on. Claims still need assignor approval. Officials claim open games. Your assignor approves who works. Manage availability from your phone.

Coach Feedback Loop

Coaches and refs rate each other after a 24-hour wait. Rankings stay with the league; refs get an anonymized report after 8 rated games.

Rate Coaches Back

From your dashboard, open Coaches to rate after the window opens. Sportsmanship, communication, respect for officials, and whether you want that coach again — two or three taps.

Earnings Dashboard

Dashboard tracks how much you have earned at what level

Ref Dashboard

Your games reffed, ratings, organizations, and certification in one place.

Season Record

Games worked and accept/no-show stay with the league that ran the game. Reliability that travels with you to a new org is coming soon. Individual game ratings and comments stay with that league.

Built to Support Strong, Fair, Honest Refs

Coach ratings and assignments so good officials are recognized, held accountable, and treated with respect. Ratings are visible to the league that ran the game — not a public scoreboard.

Rank that builds in each league

Rank builds from coach ratings in each league. Silver and Gold head start is optional and off unless the league turns it on. Claims still need assignor approval. Officials claim open games. Your assignor approves who works. Paid tiers are software capacity and features — not a way to buy talent.
