Referee recertification and registration for 2010 will proceed as follows:
Recertification locations will be posted in July, 2009.
Every referee should receive a letter from USSF in August/September with instructions; this letter will contain the same information as posted here but will serve as a reminder.
Actual clinics will be held in December, 2009, and January-February, 2010.
Physical fitness tests/runs for grade 7, 6, and 5 referees will be held throughout the Fall of 2009. There runs must be completed prior to the recertification clinics or the referee will be downgraded to grade level 8 for all of 2010.
Any referee NOT registered for more than 2 years MUST retake the ENTRY LEVEL course. However, attendance at an Entry Level school is NOT permitted for those that simply miss the recertification clinics.
Registration will again be done via the website. Our system has been modified so that registration cannot be completed without signing up and paying for both a recertification clinic and the referee registration/renewal fee.
Your USSF ID number will be required.

How to Write a Misconduct Report
If you show the card, you must do the paperwork!
The paperwork is as much a part of the game as calling fouls. Team, coach, and player discipline cannot be done properly unless you turn in ALL misconduct reports promptly and correctly.
If you are a Grade 9 Referee and are looking to move to a Grade 8 you must do the following:
Be 14 years old
Take the Grade 8 Entry Level Referee Course in full – to do this go on-line and sign up and pay for the grade 8 referee course fee and USSF registration fee
Pass the Grade 8 Entry Level Referee Course
If you have any questions please contact Michael Kodack, New Jersey State Youth Referee Administrator at pmkodack@verizon.net
