CRYSA: Referees: USSF Grade 8 Referee Course

To become a new referee, you need to take an entry-level referee class. In Tennessee, two types of entry-level classes are offered. One certifies you as a grade-8 referee and the other certifies you as a grade-9 referee. All CRYSA referees are Grade 8 referees.

For the most part, grade-8 referees manage and conduct youth-level matches at a competitive level (Divisions 1, 2, and 3 . . . including 'select' matches). The grade-8 entry-level class takes about 15 hours.

Grade-8 referees can referee recreational games, but grade-9 referees are not supposed to referee competitive games.
