USSF 2010 Recert Update
Every year in order to recertify, a referee needs to get 5 hours of continuing education and pass the test.
It is getting those pesky 5 hours that is the problem. We put on 5 recert clinics in the Vancouver area
every fall. We are strongly encouraged by the state to have all of the recerts done by then end of the
calendar year. So, after Dec 31, if you have not attended one of the Recert clinics you will have to travel
to get your hours. Oregon offers training hours – check the Oregon Referee Committee’s website.

To get your hours now for your 2010 badge (must be completed by July 1st, 2010)
You can get those in a number of ways:
Attend 5 of your local association's monthly meetings and arrange for the testing privately through Jill
Derry or James Smith. www.csraref.org for information
It would take you 5 months doing it this way.
Jill Derry derryfam@airspd.net
James Smith ja_smith@comcast.net
Attend a recertification clinic where you can get your 5 hours and take the test in the same day.
