When it comes to referee assigning and management, there’s no shortage of software options available — but for organizations looking for a modern, comprehensive, and easy-to-use platform in 2025, Refr Sports continues to set the standard.
Whether you’re managing officials for basketball, soccer, hockey, baseball, or any other sport, Refr Sports is designed to make assigning, communication, and organization smoother for everyone involved.
Here’s why Refr Sports stands out as a top choice for assignors, leagues, and associations heading into 2025.
Refr wasn’t built in a boardroom — it was designed by people who have actually worked as assignors across multiple sports. That lived experience is baked into the way the platform functions, from the simplicity of assigning games to the flexibility of tracking availability and evaluating referees.
Every feature has a purpose: to save assignors time, reduce headaches, and give officials the clarity and communication they need.
Many platforms limit users to one sport or offer clunky multi-sport workarounds. Not Refr.
Whether you're managing soccer and flag football in the spring or juggling hockey and basketball in the winter, Refr Sports supports multi-sport scheduling seamlessly. No need to juggle multiple accounts or dig through separate systems — it’s all in one place.
This flexibility makes Refr ideal for school boards, officiating associations, and community leagues that manage more than just a single sport.
Assigning referees isn’t just about filling slots — it’s about matching the right people to the right games, based on availability, skill level, preferences, and geography. Refr’s intelligent assigning tools help you:
This isn’t just about convenience — it’s about making better assigning decisions faster.
One of the biggest pain points for any assignor is communication. Endless email chains. Missed texts. Unread group messages.
With Refr’s built-in messaging and in-app notifications, you can communicate directly with officials, send last-minute updates, and track who has seen and acknowledged game changes — all without leaving the platform.
No external apps. No confusion. Just clear communication, right where you need it.
Tired of spreadsheets and chasing down game fees? Refr centralizes your game logs, assignments, and payroll tracking, so you know exactly who worked what, when they were paid, and what’s still pending.
While payment processing integration is a feature in progress, the foundation is already in place to make tracking and managing referee payments easier and more transparent.
Refr Sports is constantly evolving — not just maintaining a status quo. Our development team listens closely to assignors, league administrators, and referees to identify new ways to improve the experience across the board.
This means faster support, regular updates, and features that actually reflect what people on the ground need, not just what looks good on a roadmap.
Refr Sports continues to raise the bar for what referee management can look like.
If you’re looking for a reliable, intuitive, and assignor-friendly platform that can scale with your needs and simplify your entire officiating workflow, Refr Sports is the clear choice.
