2010 Tentative Course Dates
If you are interested in attending a referee course email Scott Bartlebaugh at sbartlebaugh@sbcglobal.net. I will email you when course dates have been finalized. Check back to this web page for updates.
District 4 Referee instruction is changing the format for the Grade 8 course which may change the proposed course dates. Our schedule will be finalized when they settle on their format which will include a field session.
Grade 8 - This is an 18 hour course usually taught in 5-6 sessions over 3 weeks. A Grade 8 referee may referee any youth game. Of course, assignments on older matches requires actual game experience. This is the appropriate course for adults associated with comp teams.
Grade 9 - This is an 8 hour course taught in two four hour or one nine hour session. A Grade 9 or Recreational Youth Referee may referee ONLY U14 and younger recreational games.

Comp Team Adults - the Grade 8 course is the entry level course and the one you will NEED to take.
Current Grade 9 referees - This is a great way to upgrade your license with the full Grade 8 course. It will provide a great review of the material already covered in the Grade 9 course and cover most things in more depth.
There is no cost to DYSL members for the course. Students passing will need to pay their $40 license fee on the last night.
The course is open to youth (age 13+) and adults. The passing rate for students under 13 has been very low in the past. Your time will come - I know you're dying to referee.
If you know of other people interested in the course please forward this information to them.
In case the DYSL hosted courses are filled, additional courses hosted by area leagues can be found at www.d4ra.com/ref/clinics.html
