Referees Registering for 2011

Updated Requirements for Grade 7 Registration

During the July 30, 2009 Colorado Joint Referee Committee (CJRC) meeting, a motion requiring Grade 7 referees to successfully complete a maintenance assessment for recertification was unanimously passed. This will become effective for the 2011 registration year. You are still required to complete your Clinic, Written Test and Fitness Test by March 31, 2010 to satisfy your Registration requirements for your 2010 registration.

Effective with the 2011 registration. the assessment, along with the fitness test, written test and attendance at a recertification clinic, will need to be completed before you are approved for Grade 7 status. After attending a recertification clinic, passing the written exam and completing the maintenance assessment, you will be issued your black referee badge and be recertified for the 2011 registration year. You will have until June 30, 2010 to pass the maintenance assessment for your 2011 registration. If you fail to do so, you will be downgraded to Grade 8 status for the 2011 registration year. The assessment fee is $45.00. Please contact Carl Rollins, the State Director of Assessment, to schedule your Assessment once you have completed your fitness test, paid your assessment fee and attended a recertification clinic.
