Fill out this Referee Course Request Form if you are an assignor or site host and would like to request to host an entry referee course, in-service training, or Referee Mentor course for your league or club. In-service training may be classroom, field training or a combination of both.
Entry level courses are four (4) hour Field Training Events (FTE), and one (1) hour administrative session for a total of five (5) hours.
Local clubs, leagues, and assignors are responsible for marketing and advertising courses to recruit new referees. Entry referee courses must have a minimum of 12 referee candidates registered in the Learning Center (LC) course within 72 hours of the scheduled course date, or the course may be cancelled.
