Advice

If you would like to upgrade to a USSF Grade 7 you should be a Level 300 refereeing U16-U19 games.
​If you have not reached this level, first request an observation.

If you would like to upgrade to a USSF Grade 6 (State Referee) you should be refereeing Adult Games.
Contact our Adult Game Assignor to be added.
