Question Number: 22313

League Specific 10/21/2009

RE: High School

Eddie of Seaside, CA USA asks...

I'm a newly certified referee, how can I go about getting my Official Number (a new card)?

Also, how do I reregister each year so I can keep my certification?

Thank you

Answer provided by Referee Dennis Wickham

If you are a newly certified USSF referee, you will get your card (eventually) by mail from USSF Chicago. It can take a couple months. The contact number for them is (312) 808-1300.

Registration occurs annually from June to June, so you can register now for 2010 if you took the class before the deadline in June 2009. If you took the class after the June 2009 deadline, you already are registered for 2010 and that is the date on your badge.

You can find out how to reregister at the CAL North Soccer Ref Assn website: http://www.cnra.net/main/index.htm

High school is different. The Cal North website should give you the contact information for the assignor for high schools in your area.
