Scott Bartlebaugh DYSL Referee Coordinator Jim Bonwell 05/26/2010 04:08 PM Referee Registration Questions 2010 Registration Problems U.S. Soccer is having problems with it's online registration site. Until further notice, please call the U.S. Soccer office directly if you still need to register for 2010. These are the four numbers to reach the referee department for the USSF: Blake Ewing [312] 528-1215 Steve Murry [312] 528-1214 Elena [312] 528-1213 Adrian Garibay [312] 528-1275 One of these people will register you over the phone and let you pay via credit card. When USSF is not having website problems or you've let your license lapse too long or you need to renew by paper/mail, the instructions are below. Registration FAQ from Michael Silverman, District 4 Coordinator. Try these things first for registration if you are having trouble. Contact me if these don't work. As we approach the deadline for 2010 registration (June 30th), I am receiving many of the same questions from several of your leagues & referees. A few simple instructions that might help take care of 90% of these questions are summarized below. (1) For referees who don't remember their USSF ID #s, USSF has recently added a new feature to their web page that actually seems to work, and appears to go back at least 3 years. The "Forgot USSFID?" link at www.ussoccer.info only asks for name, DOB, city & zip code and then returns the ID # The other links there ("Referee - Trouble logging in?" and "Forgot Password?" are pretty useful, too.... (2) For current referees (registered in 2009 and just needing to re-register for 2010), the online option works *most* of the time, and instructions are available at: http://www.cnra.net/renew/renew_register.htm (3) For those cases where the above doesn't work, or for refs without credit cards, the PAPER version works. Direct them to the link below and ask them to complete, print & sign a registration form them mail to with a check made out to CNRA to the PO Box below. The check amount is $40 for grade 8 referees. The full schedule for other grades is located at: http://www.cnra.net/renew/fees.html http://www.cnra.net/renew/renew_nocreditcard.html CNRA PO Box 7416 Fremont, CA 94537-7416 (4) For referees that have missed 1-2 years (not registered in 2009 & 2008), following the (3) PAPER instructions above will get them re-registered (5) Referees that have 3-4 year lapses are required to attend a full entry-level clinic or a "bridge course" to re- register. As NO "bridge course" is being offered in the near future, we have decided that it can be replaced by simply attending nights # 3, 4 & 5 of an entry-level clinic AND PASSING THE EXAM on night #6. Let me know if you have any questions. Scott Bartlebaugh 07/28/2010 04:41 PM Referee Classes - 2010 2010 Course Dates You can now register online. Click here to go to the Course Enrollment page.

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, we will track a waiting list. Additional courses hosted by area leagues can be found at www.d4ra.com/ref/clinics.html www.drra.com/ref/clinics.html.
