Bridge class registration
within 12 months from Entry class
If you took an Entry class within the last 12 months or so and refereed for one season,
and you are at least 14 years old, you can take a Bridge class to upgrade from a
Grade 9 to a Grade 8. However the Registration system does not allow you
to register online but you can register by mail. Prepare the following:
a hard copy of the "Referee Registration 2010" screen from the
https://www.ussoccer.info
website. In the Section I agree to the terms and conditions place an X
in the box and place your signature next to it after reading the Terms
and Conditions.
a hardcopy of the webpage that has the class information, with the
class of interest circled or paste the class posting information in a
word document and print it
a $60 check to the order of Michigan Referee Committee
Mail the 3 items above to:
Franco DAnna
Michigan Referee Registrar
120 West 3rd Street B&B
Bicknell, IN 47512
You will receive a confirmation email to the email address in your US
Soccer profile (make sure it's correct). If within 5 days of you placing
the envelope in the mailbox you do not receive a confirmation, send an
email to
MichiganRegistrar@gmail.com
and ask for a status.
Print the whole confirmation email and bring it to the class
Express Registration: If you send me an email with an image of
the forms, class location and check that you placed in the mailbox, I
will sign you up immediately.
Note: This class will allow you to referee in the fall 2010 and you
will be registered for the whole 2011 year.

Switching
Classes
If you
need to switch to a different class
please do the following:
1) "forward"
your "Payment Acknowledgement" email to
MichiganRegistrar@gmail.com
2) "copy/paste" the
desired class description from this website into the same email. The Registrar will send you a
confirmation email or advise you if there is no room in the class. There is no need
to check with the class contact regarding seat availability.
3) if your Payment Acknowledgement shows that you paid
$55 and the class that you are switching to is an Entry or Bridge whose
cost is $60, then you also need to mail a $5 check to the order of
Michigan Referee Committee to:
Franco DAnna
Michigan Referee Registrar
120 West 3rd Street B&B
Bicknell, IN 47512
To have your class switch take effect as soon as I receive the email,
include in your email to the Registrar also an image copy of the check.

Must Bring Proof of Risk
Management
If you are 18 or older next January 1st, you must bring proof of
Risk Management compliance to class. You will not get a badge in
class without proof of RM. It takes about 7-10 days to receive
approval, so apply well before class day.
Click here to apply.
Payment Ack Email without Class Info

Did not Receive
Payment Ack email
If you did not receive a Payment Acknowledgement email, then contact
MichiganRegistrar@gmail.com

Must Select a
Class
When you register online, you should see a list of available classes
before you reach the Payment section. If
you do not see the list, do not go through the payment process,
instead close the window and restart the registration. Remember, you
must sign up for a class for your
registration to be complete.

Walk-In's Registrations
Walk-ins will not receive a badge in class.
Walk-ins are not guaranteed a place in class, especially if the class is
full or close to being full. Walk-ins may be allowed to stay in class, but will not be
able to register and pay in class and will not receive a badge. It is best not to walk-in a class,
instead it's best to register online before going to class. If a Walk-in
is accepted in the class, he/she will be asked
to do the following after they take the class:
- register and pay online
(if the class is not available because the date is passed, register for
the same type of class in a different location)
- "forward" the Payment Acknowledge-ment (PA) email received
after the registration to their Instructor
- in the same email explain that you "walked in the class (specify
which), registered
online after the class, and now wish to receive a badge"

Postcard From US
Soccer

from US Soccer asking you to go to
https://www.ussoccer.info/ to register for a Recertification class.
