US Soccer has mandated that all referees switch to the new uniform standards. These uniforms have been available for some time and referees have been urged to make the switch over the past couple years. As of January 1, 2019, the new style will be the only acceptable option.
The Fitness Test is for referees who desire to upgrade (from Grade 8 to Grade 7; or Grade to Grade 6). Periodically we will run the Grade 5 fitness test for those that require it to referee and upgrade to Grade 5.
