Want to become a Referee?

The Grade 8 entry level referee course is an eighteen hour course (16 hours plus exam) typically held in the evenings or weekends.  The course fee is normally $25.00 – $35.00.  In addition, after successful completion, you will be required to pay a $40.00 annual USSF registration fee.  Materials are supplied by the instructor at each course.  Students are required to attend the complete course in order to become a referee.

In order to register for a course, send an email to the contact person listed.  They will, in turn, tell you if anything additional is required. Space is limited and when a course is full, registration ends.  “Walk ins” are normally not accepted.
