Clinic Instructions
Pre-registration and completion of online material is REQUIRED.
VERY, VERY IMPORTANT: This class has online material that MUST be completed (and this system MUST say PICK A CLINIC in blue highlight) prior to transferring to the in-person field practicum. You WILL NOT be admitted to the class if you have not completed the education and the system does not indicate PICK A CLINIC. Paper or email proof of completion is not accepted. There are no exceptions.
The HARD CUTOFF is two days before the clinic at 8PM to complete the online material and transfer. If you are not 100 complete then you will not be allowed to attend the clinic. Should this happen then you can wait for a later clinic or request your funds be reimbursed.
Accessing the Online Material:
After you have registered and paid for your class, log on and look in the Clinic Reservation box for a button labeled Online Lessons. This button will provide access to the online material. Click on that button and complete ALL modules. Completing all material will take a 3-5 hours, so allow time to complete this. This material contains essential information that is part of your referee exam.
IMPORTANT: Read and follow the instructions CAREFULLY. Do not skip ahead in videos. Failure to carefully follow the instructions or skipping portions of videos may result in you not receiving credit for completing the item.

Please be aware that if this New Referee Clinic is held before July 1, it will provide certification through the end of this calendar year. If it is on or after July 1, it will provide certification for the remainder of this calendar year and through next year.
This class consists of all outdoor instruction on a field at the complex.
The in-person portion of the certification consists of 4-hours of field practicum. If you are not able to physically participate due to injury, you will need to take another class once you are released to participate. What to bring:
1. Bring paper and pencil for notes. Bring questions you may have from the online material.
2. Bring snacks and any drinks you may want. There will not be a formal meal break. Instead we will be taking 10-15 minute breaks that will allow time for snacks and beverages.
3. Dress to be active on the field. Bring shoes appropriate for light work on the soccer field (cleats are not required, but recommended depending on the weather). Dress for the weather.
4. A referee whistle will be provided.
