To be a CSC recreation level referee, you must meet the requirements set forth below:
Minimum age, 12 yrs old by the day of the class. The class is one day consisting of 8 hours of instruction (8:30AM-5:00PM) and a 50 question exam, 75% is passing. Students must attend the entire class and will not be excused for any portion of the sessions. NOTE: The Grade 9 Recreational Referee can only do recreational games. Grade 9 referees cannot do any travel games whatsoever.
To be a CSC travel level referee, you must complete the Grade 8 referee certification as outlined below:
This is the entry level referee course designed for those who wish to start officiating travel soccer games (you can do recreational games as well.) Minimum age, 14 yrs old by the day of the class. The Grade 8 Entry Level class has been revised to include an extra day of field training. Thus, as in the past, the first 2 days will consist of classroom instruction. Classes are held 8:30 AM until 5:00 PM each day. The 3rd day begins in the classroom but moves into a gym or outside onto a soccer field (weather permitting) for approximately 3 hours for a field mechanics clinic. After the field mechanics clinic is completed, attendees move back into the classroom for a review, test (100 question exam is given, 75% is passing), and registration. The hours for the 3rd day are the same as the first 2 days. Attendees should bring lunch each day and should wear appropriate footwear for the 3rd day. Attendees MUST complete all portions of the 3-day course. Missing any part of the course is not permitted, and will require the attendee to repeat the course in its entirety. NO EXCEPTIONS.
