The following is an advisory from Cal South regarding Referee upgrade to State Level
We need to plan the upgrade clinics for State level grades, to include instructional content that is more relevant to state level referees.
We also need to pay closer attention to the fitness test administer to the State level grades.
By improving the process for upgrading, we will be improving the service we provide and therefore, improve the quality/level of our State referees.
Effective immediately, all grade 7 referees who want to upgrade to a Grade 6, need to notify the SRC, via the "State Level Candidacy" form.
We have adopted a version of the form and process used by USSF for National candidates, which will allow us to continue enhancing the alignment of our processes.
Submitting the form (which is avaiable by clicking on "Forms" above and selecting "State Level Candidacy") does not guarantee upgrade and referees are responsible for ensuring that they meet the USSF requirements.
Don't forget to check out the NEWSLETTER for information on our meetings and other stuff you need to know.
