The USSF Grade 8 re-certification course is designed for those USSF Grade 8 returning referees to officiate
all youth games. Grade 8 referees have nothing to do with what grade a youth is currently
in school. It is simply the first level classification of USSF officials.
Upon completion of this course you will be certified for 2017 and your badge will be valid from the date
you receive it until 12/31/2017.
***There is no minimum age required***

........................................................Picture Upload Requirement...................................................
Cal South referees are required to upload a current picture into their account during
registration. Cal South players who register using their player account profile
might already have their photo loaded and not need to upload again. You can
always log into your account at any time to upload this picture. A current picture is
required for all referees in order to have your referee card printed and mailed to you.
Please do not wear sunglasses or hats in your picture. Pictures that cannot clearly
identify you will not be accepted and this will delay your necessary card from being printed.
