Once a referee has attended an 09 Recreational Referee class, he/she may attend an 08 class.

Requirement: there is no age requirement to attend the 08 course, but it is recommended that the candidate be at least fourteen years of age. The class is twelve hours in length and a 100 question multiple choice, true/false test will be given at the completion of the course. The candidate must pass the test with a score of 75 or better. Cost = $50.00 payable at the first session, unless the candidate has taken the 09 class within the regristration year (January to December). The cost for that candidate is $35.00.

All referees must attend a recertification class every fall to allow them to register for the following year. Recertification clinics for 2010 will be conducted throughout the state from June 1 to December 31, 2009.

Several clubs host Referee Clinics throughout the year. You are free to attend any clinic. Just contact the club administrator to let him know that you will be coming. For upgrades, all sessions must be attended to complete the clinic. Tests will be given during the final hour of each session.
