Question Number: 19678

League Specific 8/1/2008

RE: all Adult

Tony of Fairport, NY US asks...

Where can I get my licence to be able to ref games?

Answer provided by Referee Michelle Maloney

Most of us just go down to the county courthouse and sign up - no fuss no muss. Just kidding.

You'll need to locate your state referee association - they all have websites, and the information you need on how to find the 16 hour entry level clinic should be posted. Sign up, go, learn, pass the test with a minimum 75 score, pay your money for the registration, and voila! You have a license to referee. Good luck!
