In partnership with the RI State Referee Committee and North Kingstown Soccer Association, we have scheduled a 10-hour Grade 8 New Referee / Grade 8 Upgrade clinic starting on May 2 at the Cold Spring Community Center in North Kingstown. Anyone successfully completing the course will be certified as a 2011 grade 8 referee. Note that recertification in the fall will still be required for referees wishing to re-certify for 2012. The class will have a required minimum of 15 and cap at 50 attendees. Online registration at https://www.ussoccer.info/ is required; we will not be accepting walk-ins due to ongoing upgrades in our registration systems. Anyone who is unable to access their US Soccer account should contact me for resolution.
The cost for new grade 8 referees is $60, while existing grade 9 referees will pay
$40 to upgrade.
If you would like to referee, you must register as a volunteer if you are an adult. If you are a player in 7th grade or older, contact the Director of Referee’s for further information. You must pass a referee exam in order to referee.
