Additionally:
- Attend an In-person on-field training session administered by the State Referee Committee*
Attendance at an In-person on-field training session will satisfy US Soccer’s in-person training component, which is a requirement to receive your Referee license.
All In-person on-field training sessions will be held indoors, in a gym/soccer court, or outdoors, weather permitting.
These are not walk-in sessions as we need to verify all pre-course work has been completed in advance of the session.
Instructors will only admit those on the course roster for attendance at the In-person on-field training session.
Signing up for the In-person on-field training session will be available after you complete the required Learning Center assignments .
You cannot reserve a spot for the In-person on-field training session until you complete the assignments.
If an In-person on-field training session is near capacity, there are no guarantees that slots will be available by the time you finish the assignments. We strongly encourage Referee candidates to compete their assignments in the Learning Center well in advance of the In-person on-field training session they wish to attend. We reserve the right to cancel any scheduled In-person on-field training sessions for low attendance numbers. Referee Candidates will then be able to choose another date/time to attend.
The deadline for choosing the In-person on-field training session is 48 hours before the start of the session. WisRef requires course rosters to be set by this deadline. Please be diligent if you desire a Session for a particular date and time.
In-person on-field training sessions are held in the morning from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm or in the afternoon from
1:00 pm – 4:00 pm CST.
