Recertification Clinic Information and Expectations:

grade 7 and 8 referees (referees with black badges) can attend
these clinics to re-certify.
- All referees are expected to arrive in advance of the posted clinic
start times.
- No admittance to the clinic 15 minutes after the posted start time.
Refereeing or playing in an indoor soccer game is not a legitimate
reason for being late or leaving early.
- Few recertification clinics will be offered this year. Do not wait
until the last minute to re-certify.
- Capacity at some clinics may be limited. Referees are seated on a
first come, first serve basis. Seats aren’t guaranteed, referees will
be turned away when capacity is reached.
- To obtain certification, all participants are expected to stay for the
entire clinic. NO EXCEPTIONS.
- A lunch break will be provided.
-
Electronic devices such as Game Boys, iPods or MP3 players aren’t
permitted in clinic.
- Pagers and cell phones on vibrate are permitted. Cell phones are only
to be used for making calls before, after or during breaks of the
clinic.
- Text messaging during the clinic is prohibited.
- Referees who are demonstrating conduct (ie sleeping, texting, etc)
that IS NOT conducive to the recertification clinic will be asked to
leave. The referee will be required to attend a different clinic in
it’s entirety to recertify.
- IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT A REFEREE REVIEW HIS/HER LAW BOOK
PRIOR TO ATTENDING A CLINIC IN ORDER TO PASS THE 50 QUESTION
RECERTIFICATION EXAM. THE MINIMUM PASSING SCORE IS 74%.
