C · R · E · S · T — Colorado Referee Education & Supplemental Training
Professional tools built for every role in Colorado Soccer — from the ref coach on the sideline to the player who hasn't become a referee yet.
The CREST Suite
Five purpose-built apps covering every role in Colorado Soccer — from the referee coach with a clipboard to the parent in the stands.
31 reference modules covering all 17 Laws, the full CSA Guide to Referees 2025/26, game day procedures, signals, age groups, RAP policy, and contacts. Works completely offline on any device.
A fully branded team app for each Colorado club. One app, three audiences — Coach tools, Player development, and Parent education. Each club gets their own colors, logo and name.
Everything needed to run a great game day — assignment management, mentor coordination, site setup tools, and real-time communication for tournament and league coordinators.
Training session planning, referee badge progression tracking, course management, and instructor resources. The complete toolkit for growing Colorado's referee community from the classroom up.
Live match evaluation with real-time event logging, official US Soccer CMI and CRE incident tracking, injury time accumulator, auto-populated metrics, and CREST-branded PDF export ready for RefEval.
CREST Team Apps
At the start of each season, CSA provides every Colorado club with their own personalized CREST Team app — branded with the club's name, colors and logo. Tap a club below to see a live preview.
Each team app serves three audiences in one place: Coach tools, Player development, and Parent education — plus the referee recruitment pathway built right in.
Every CREST Team app includes direct access to the CSA Referee Abuse Prevention program. Coaches, players and parents can report incidents instantly from the field.

Colorado Soccer Association
C.R.E.S.T. — Colorado Referee Education & Supplemental Training — is a referee development program created in partnership with the Colorado Soccer Association to elevate the quality of officiating across the state.
Every tool is free, works offline, and installs on any phone — because great referee development shouldn't require a subscription. Built by ref coaches, for ref coaches, with the full backing of CSA.
"The goal is simple — give every referee coach in Colorado professional-grade tools, give every club a way to educate their community, and give every player a path into officiating. CREST is how we get there."
