The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.
The State Referee Association want to remind all referees that each year, referees must recertify to continue being licensed to referee. Last year the recertification process was conducted on line only as an experiment; however, we have heard that part training on line and part in the classroom and field was the preferred learning method. 1.The cost of recertification between July 1 – December 31st, 2017 is $65. We would love to have everyone complete their recertification at the $65 so that there is no additional cost to the referee. 2.Referees who wait until January 1, 2018 to recertify will have to pay a $130 recertification fee. 3.Referees who wait until February 1, 2018 to recertify will have to pay a $260 recertification fee. The increase in fee due to tardiness has been in effect for approximately 15 years. No changes have taken place, the fee is doubled with every missed deadline. Please click on this link below to see all the available recertification classes in your area. Recertification started in August, so if you have not recertified already, there may be limited classes that you can attend in your area and must choose another class. There are currently 26 additional recertification classes you can find here: RECERTIFICATION CLASSES To the clubs and players – Want to become a referee?
