Klay Babin first started refereeing soccer here in Maumelle 11 years ago at age 14. He is currently a State Referee, which is a Grade 5, and is in the process of trying to become a National Referee.
Klay has refereed literally thousands of matches in his 11 year career. He has done matches at the minor league professional level, college, adult amateur, high school, and youth soccer. He has refereed High School Championship Finals as well as State and Regional Championship matches. He is known and respected by almost everyone in the state of Arkansas who is involved in soccer. And he is also known regionally through the professional and college matches he has done.
Because of his experience and expertise, he has been asked to be the Referee Assignor for several local major tournaments. He will be assigning the upcoming first-ever Super Clubs tournament to be held in Arkansas next month at Burns Park.
Klay has also been a referee instructor for the entry-level referee courses, both Grade 9’s and 8’s.
In short, Klay is an extremely valuable, local referee resource and is willing to help out or answer any question that you might have. He can be contacted by email at:
