GRASSROOTS REFEREE RECERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

Details on the new U.S. Soccer Referee Pathway can be read here.  Please review the Grassroots Referee Profile for general information and expectations of a Grassroots Referee.

The 2019-2020 changes to the Laws of the Game are much more extensive than in most years.  If you will be refereeing in the Fall of 2019, it is of utmost importance to complete the Grassroots Online Course and recertify.  The 2019-2020 Laws of the Game became effective June 1st, 2019; you have likely seen them live in action during the Women's World Cup, Gold Cup and other competitions this summer.

Instructions to Recertify

The cost to recertify as a Grassroots Referee through December 31st, 2020  is $45 (State & National fees).

• ·         Create a profile in the US Soccer Referee Learning Center
• ·         Register for the Grassroots Recertification Online Course
• ·         Complete all online assignments

If you are 18 years or older, also completing these two mandatory items:

• ·         US Soccer NCSI Background Check ($30) – valid for two years (available inside the Learning Center within your respective profile)
• ·         SafeSport Training (Federal Law) – valid for two years​

​The Hawaii State Referee Committee will also be hosting at no additional cost to referees the following training and development opportunities:

• ·         field training sessions
• ·         expanded mentoring (formerly referred to as assessments)
• ·         webinars led by current FIFA Referees and National Referee Coaches
• ·         traditional in-service classroom sessions​

These programs and initiatives align with the U.S. Soccer Referee Program's goal of providing more practical training on the field as opposed to the previous mandatory classroom sessions. U.S. Soccer and the SRC believe these programs and opportunities will better train and develop Grassroots Referees for the modern game. Free registration for these events will be in the Learning Center and also posted here on the website.
