The USSF Grade 8 referee course is 18 hours in length. Students must have reached their 14th birthday prior to the start of the course. Upon completion of the course, students take a 100 question multiple-choice exam covering the material presented. Obtaining a grade of 75 or better qualifies the student to become a USSF Grade 8 referee. Failing students may take the exam one additional time, at a time and place mutually convenient to the student and instructor. Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive a USSF Grade 8 Referee License. For more information on the course, contact Damon Nolan.
Note: A Grade 8 referee license permits a referee to cover any youth game (travel or recreation) as a center referee or assistant, at the discretion of a referee assignor. The Grade 8 Referee licenses is high level then the Grade 9 referee licenses.
(January 25, 2008) The Grade 8 Referee course is now full. To be placed on the course waiting list or our email list for future course announcements, please send an email to Carrie Martin. We are starting to plan for another Grade 8 Referee course to be held later this year.
