How to Become a USSF Grassroots Referee

Requirements - You must be 13 or older.

There is two-part process that must be completed to become a licensed USSF Grassroots Referee.
Sign up for a Grassroots online course. You will pay the fee ($80) when you sign up.

PART 1 - Sign up for the Grassroots Online Lessons.

There are 6 modules in the online portion. All 6 modules must be completed in full before you can select an in-person clinic. This part takes approximately 6 hours to complete.

PART 2 - Select an in-person clinic to attend.

Once you complete the entire online lessons, you'll be able to select an in-person clinic to go to. You will see the words - ONLINE LESSONS COMPLETED highlighted in green to know that you can select the in-person clinic you wish to attend.

The in-person clinic is 3.5 hours. This is the field session done outdoors.
Lots of important information is given to all attendees at the in-person clinics - who you will work for, how to get games, where to get uniforms, etc.

You must complete both parts in order to become a referee.
