Referee FAQ's

At what age can youth take the referee course?

Ans:  Referee courses are open to adults and youth (ages 12 and up).

What are the requirements for the USSF Grade 8 Referee Course?

Ans:  Attend 18 hours of classroom instruction and pass a written exam. 

What are the current available referee classes in District 2?

Ans:  North Valley and Milpitas normally host one license course in Spring and one before the Fall Season.  For additional scheduled courses, check the District 2 website, www.d2sra.org under “Training.”

How do I renew my referee license?

Ans:  Check the District 2 website, www.d2sra.org under “Renew.”

If I was a licensed referee before, but am inactive, do I have to take the class again?

Ans:  It depends how long ago you renewed your license.  You must keep your license certification current every year.  Otherwise, your certification level and eligibility to renew are at risk if you do not renew your license every year.  Please refer to the District 2 website, www.d2sra.org under “Renew” for more information on what your recertification requirements would be.

What instruction is available to me after I take the referee class?

Ans:  The District 2 referee association website (www.d2sra.org) has detailed information and schedules for Entry-Level clinics, In-Service Clinics, and Upgrades.  As you upgrade your license, the educational and physical standards become more stringent. 

Can I retake the exam if I do not pass?

Ans:  Yes.  Being on time and attending all class sessions helps to avoid this situation and pass the exam on the first go-around.
