Question Number: 13739

League Specific 9/11/2006

Andrew Humes of Ann Arbor, MI Washtenaw asks...

I have been a certified USSF referee before and i have let it lapse as i got into high school. Now that i am in college would like to referee USSF games. Do i have to go through the 16 hours again or do can i take a shorter class. I also have been refereeing AYSO games forever and a day. I am curious if that will help any.

Answer provided by Referee Chuck Fleischer

There is an amnesty course available in northern California but one must have been unregistered for only two years or less. Perhaps that course is available in Michigan.

Regards,

In WI the policy is that you must take the full blown course if it is more than 2 years since you were a referee.
