Referees

BCSA is always in need of additional referees! Becoming a referee is a fairly simple process! 

HOW TO GET STARTED:

1.    Requirement - you must be 13 or older

2.    Sign up for a GRASSROOTS COURSE (takes approximately 4-5 hours to

complete. The first part of this course is done online (in the comfort of your home). Please complete this course within a 5 day (or less) period of time once you sign up. There will be a deadline when the course will be closed.

Once it is closed, you will not have access to it.

3.    Once you complete your grassroots online portion of the course, you

will automatically be enrolled in the GRASSROOTS FIELD SESSION. This second part of the course is done IN PERSON. This session will be 3.5 hours.

Note: you must complete your grassroots online course a minimum of 72 hours before your grassroots session is scheduled to start.  If you haven't completed your grassroots online training 72 hours prior to the start of the field session, you will be removed from the field session. We will need everyone to have completed the training so they can focus on field training information.

Understand, that the Grassroots Referee course is a two-step process:

GRASSROOTS COURSE (done online) GRASSROOTS FIELD SESSION - done in person at a specific venue. You must complete BOTH in order to be registered as a 2021 USSF Referee
