Overview

USSF CERTIFIED "YELLOWSHIRT" REFEREE (officiates REC, Travel, & higher levels):

CERTIFICATION INFORMATION:

Must be at least 13 year old at the time of registration.

USSF certification testing for "Yellowshirts" entry level (grade 8 grass roots) includes registering for the USSF clinic on
ctreferee.net, and completing the online test portion on the US Soccer Learning Center (learning.ussoccer.com). This is new, and it can be a little confusing, so by all means have anyone reach out to me directly with questions. There is a fee of around $95 to register and complete the test.

All current USSF referees must RE-certify following the process above . Please read the CSRP (CT Soccer Referee Program) website carefully: https://ctreferee.net/

If you have trouble with your registration or testing, contact:

Carmine Caparaso

Director of Operations

Once certified, USSF referees can work Rec, Travel and Premier level games throughout the US! We welcome all qualified, responsible, reliable referees to join our Westport referee pool. Please read the FAQ below for more information.

We look forward to working with you.

WSA/CJSA SAFETY GUIDELINES

WESTPORT SAFETY GUIDELINES: Go to our Covid Safety Page
(masks are optional for players and referees participating in the game.)

INCLEMENT WEATHER. CJSA Lightning/Thunder Policy:

Lightning – Recognizing the threat.

Apply the 30-30 rule: When you see lightning, count the time until you hear thunder. If this time is 30 seconds or less, seek proper shelter. If you can’t see the lightning, just hearing the thunder is a good back-up rule.

Wait 30 minutes or more after hearing the last thunder before leaving shelter. Referees must protect the safety of all participants by stopping game activities quickly, so that participants and spectators may retire to a safer place before the lightning threat becomes significant. Remember, if you can hear the thunder, you are within reach of lightning
