​Recertifying Referee Registration and Certification for the 2024 USSF Registration year will open on July 10, 2023.  Your current 2023 referee licence is valid until December 31, 2023.  You have until that date to complete your 2024 recertifying referee registration.  Once all your 2024 recertifying referee requirements are completed, that referee license will be valid until December 31, 2024.  To recertify for 2025, referees will need to complete recertification on or after July 10, 2024, at your convenience, to be eligible to referee as of January 1, 2025.

Complete the 2024 NCSRA Recertifying Referee Test 

When registering for this test please use the exact 1st name, last name and email showing in your arbiter account so you receive credit for the test upon completion.  This test has 109 questions and 70% is the passing score.  If you do not get 70% or higher, you will be able to take the test again as needed.  Also, on our website, www.ncsra.org, in the "Referees Tab" you will see a "Referee Training Session" section.  There, you will see all of the on-field and/or webinar training sessions currently scheduled across the state, which will be updated when a new session is scheduled.  If you would like to attend any of these sessions as a refresher for yourself, please contact NCSRA Administrator Erick Varone at michaelsofficial14@gmail.com to get assigned.  There is no charge for any of these sessions for certified referees, as this is included in your registration fee.  

Once you complete these 6 steps, please email NCSRA Administrator Erick Varone at michaelsofficial14@gmail.com.  He will confirm your completion, process your 2024 Recertification and have your 2024 Referee Badge mailed to the address listed in your arbiter account.
