Information about certifying as a
US Soccer Federation (USSF) referee and as a NC High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) referee
Below you will find information regarding soccer officiating.
Darren Dawson is the referee assignor for USSF youth matches in
Greenville, Washington and Kinston, and the NCHSAA referee
booking agent for most high schools, middle schools and private
schools in Pitt, Beaufort, Lenoir, Greene, Wayne, and some of
Wilson County. Darren's contact information is:

USSF referee. A USSF
referee typically officiates youth challenge and classic matches from
U-9 to U-18 on weekends during the fall and spring seasons. Pay ranges
from $20 - $55 per match. You must attend a 16 hour course to become
certified the first year and then a 6 hour recertification course each
year thereafter. There will be certification courses in Wilson and New
Bern this summer:
For clinics, there is a $60.00 registration fee and you must be at
least 14 years old. You must attend all three days and make your check
payable to NCSRA. You should check with the coordinator a week or so
before the clinic to confirm it is still being held (if enough people do
not registered, the State office will cancel the clinic).
All certification and recert clinics are
posted at www.ncsra.org. You must register at this website which
also lists other towns hosting clinics. It doesn't matter where you
attend the clinic. If you are properly certified and want to officiate
during the fall 2007 season, send Darren an email to be added as an
available referee.
****
NCHSAA referee. The
NCHSAA and USSF are completely separate entities. Each requires it's
own registration. To become a NCHSAA referee, go to
http://www.nchsaa.org/index.pl and click under "Officiating" and
then "Online Officiating Registration". It takes about 5 minutes to
register. You must register and send $30 (plus $21
insurance) to the NCHSAA office before August 1 (no exceptions), and
then attend a mandatory NCHSAA state clinic. There will be a state
clinic at Rose High School in Greenville on July 29 from 4 p.m. to about
6 p.m. If you can not attend the Rose High clinic, other sites
for the clinics are listed on the website. It doesn't matter which
clinic you attend although it is preferable to attend the Rose clinic
because we will have a local association meeting immediately
thereafter. Our local association is the called the Eastern Plains. In
August, you will take the NCHSAA exam and then be ready to officiate
during the fall 2007 season. Exam dates and details will be discussed
at the Rose High state clinic. Pay ranges from $33 to $55 per match.
Match fees were increased by $5 this year ($50 per ref for a 3 man
varsity, and $45 for a 2 man JV match). You will also pay a booking
agent fee of $40 per season or $80 for the fall & spring seasons. Once
you have registered, send Darren an email to be placed on the list of
available referees. You will likely get some assignments in or close to
your home town and some assignments which will require up to a 45 minute
drive to the school. The more available you are, the more matches you
will receive assuming you are officiating the matches competently.
Please contact Darren if you have further
questions or concerns.
