As an SCRA referee, certification and re-certification of the following USSF Grade Titles will be used:

• Grassroots Referee               

• Regional Referee                  

• Regional Emeritus Referee    

• National Referee                    

• National Emeritus Referee    

 

Each referee is responsible for meeting all the prerequisites for maintaining his current grade, to include training, completing the exam, paying the registration fee, and game counts as applicable. The requirements for each grade are listed on the Cal South website.

For those referees that wish to advance up the ladder and increase their USSF grade, they will move from Grassroots Referee to Regional Referee. That is the one big step in advancement. It's also a very significant step. It is only achieved with some serious experience in terms of game counts and levels, assessments, training, and fitness tests. Each referee is responsible for meeting all the necessary requirements for this upgrade. The requirements for advancing to Regional Referee are found on the Cal South website.

ASSESSMENTS 

A referee needing an on-field assessment or evaluation for either upgrade or maintenance must first be assigned an appropriate level game. Contact the SCRA assignors and the Director of Referee Development to request the appropriate level game. ​​​
