The USSF Referee Administrative Handbook details
the various Referee Grades and outlines the requirements to “Upgrade”
from one grade to another. Upgrades require that the following three
requirements must be fulfilled in order to proceed with the Upgrade
process.
- Minimum age
- Experience (game count at
appropriate level according to grade)
- Time in present grade
When the first three
requirements are met and you are ready to initiate the Upgrade process:
- Notify the State Referee Administrator
(SRA) sra@ctreferee.org
and the Upgrade Coordinator upgrade@ctreferee.org
in writing that you are requesting an Upgrade.
- Login to the CSRP eReferee
System using your first name, middle initial, last
name and birth date or your USSF ID number
- Select the link “Begin
Referee Upgrade Process”
- Complete "Upgrade
Payment" to continue process
- Update all your Referee
information as needed and select “Save Edits”
- As your information changes
return to the eReferee System “Begin Referee Upgrade
Process” to add new information and “Save Edits”
- The Upgrade Coordinator upgrade@ctreferee.org
will assist you and keep track of your progress through the
Upgrade process
- Forms to assist you with keeping
track of your game count and Upgrade requirements are available
on the CSRP web page Resources/Forms
The following are
additional requirements that must be completed during the Upgrade
process; these are also outlined in the USSF Referee Administrative
Handbook:
When you have completed ALL the requirements to Upgrade, login to
the CSRP eReferee
System
- Update all
your information and Upgrade details, select “Save Edits”
- Check the box
“I have successfully completed the upgrade requirements
for the Connecticut State Referee Program and request that my
Referee Grade be advanced”
- Select “Request
Upgrade” this will initiate your Upgrade
Once all the Upgrades requirements are completed and have been approved
you will be notified that the Upgrade process has been completed.
Note: to maintain Referee grades 7, 6, 5, and Emeritus
you must meet all annual requirements for your Referee Grade. On
an annual basis you must attend a Recertification Clinic, pass a
Physical Fitness Test, a Recertification Test, a Field Assessment
and comply with the SRC Policy for Referees regarding minimum number
of games officiated. All Referees considering advancement must keep
accurate records of all the Clinics and Training that you have participated
in and Matches that you have officiated. Your records should include
Clinic Type, Clinic Date, Clinic Instructor, Assessment Information,
Game Dates, Venues, League, Level of Competition, Teams, and your
position, i.e. Referee or AR. You will use much of this information
when you fill out your annual Referee Recertification information.
More information about Assessments required for Upgrade can be found
on the page Referee
Assessment
