Information and Resources For 2009 USSF Recertification.
There have been several significant changes from previous seasons:
- The number of questions on the written Grade 7/8 recertification exam has been doubled to 100.
- The test is more difficult. It will require a greater knowledge of the Laws of the Game
including the three cases where a substitute or substituted player can be cautioned.
You must study to pass!
- USSF has increased the registration fee for all referee grades.
