Snap Soccer Referees
Once you are certified, the final steps to becoming a Snap Soccer referee are simple. We ask all officials (including minors) to submit a W9 form, completed with a current home address, tax identification number, and signature. You can securely upload your W9 below.
Referee Payment Systems
In order to efficiently pay our referees, we offer a direct deposit option for every Snap Soccer event. Our direct deposit option does not incur any fees or use any middleman in order to deposit your payment. Even better, you will always be paid two business days after the event is finished, avoiding the hassle of waiting in line for a check. Setup can be completed in three easy steps:
- Create a contractor account with Quickbooks Online.
- Input W9 information in your new account.
- Input your preferred bank account information and routing number.
If you would like to set up direct deposit with Snap Soccer Events, please email accounting@snapsoccer.com for the link to get started. You can find more information about our direct deposit system below.
