Registration: All attendees MUST pre-register by e-mailing Bill Bailey, bill.bailey@roadrunner.com as space is limited. Walk ins may likely be turned away.
Who can attend: Anyone that would like to become a United States Soccer Federation registered referee. By attending the class and passing the test, you will become a Grade 8 USSF Referee. This will qualify you to be assigned to work youth level soccer games as either a center referee or an assistant referee. Please remember that you must take a recertification course every year to continue your qualifications to referee. These courses are held from November to April every year. You must be 14 years old.
Fee: There is a $112.00 fee for this class, which covers the class and your first year of registration. U.S. Soccer has recently increased this fee.
Please make checks payable to: Southern Maine Soccer
Recertification Courses
To: All USSF Referees
From: Peter LeVasseur
State Director of Referee Instruction
Item: Referee Recertification
Referee Classes
Date: November 6th, 2009
All Referees must recertify every year. Recertification clinics will begin in November and end on April 15th. There will NOT be any recertification clinics after that date. This will ensure that all referee registration forms will be sent to USSF by June 1st, so that you can receive your membership cards. The cost of the clinic is $68.00, and you will receive your 2010 patch with sticky Velcro, a rule book, handouts, and information on any rule changes or directives from USSF.
I have been unable to get this information posted on the soccermaine website and will therefore be notifying you through emails. Other information and USSF directives will be coming shortly.

We at WYSA greatly appreciate all of our volunteers and sponsors that help us provide our successful soccer programs to the youth of Windham. Our referees play an important part in WYSA and so we would like to use this area of the website to give special recognition to them. Be looking in this area in the future to see which officials are being recognized.
