Registration is open through the remainder of August and the required in-person sessions starting this weekend and will run through 9/8/19.

Candidates for Referee Grassroots Training must be 13 years old as of registration date.
Preferred browsers are Internet Explorer and Edge.
The New Referee Training Process is a combination of an On-Line Training Course to be completed at your own pace and attendance of an in-person session of 5 hours. The registration for the online portion of Session #1 will start on approximately 8/10/2019 and be open through 8/31/2019 with the required in-person sessions starting approximately August 18th and ending on September 8th. Session #2 will begin on 1/15/2020 thru 3/31/2020 with the required in-person sessions starting the middle of February and running through April 5th. There will be at least one in-person session most weekends in various areas of the state. The following are the steps that must be completed sequentially:
1. Create a profile at https://www.ctreferee.net/referee_registration/.
2. Register and pay for the Connecticut portion of grassroots training, ($84.95), complete Safesport and background check if appropriate (18 or older).

4. Upload the US Soccer Grassroots completion certificate to the CT referee website to continue with the remaining training.
5. Register and attend one in class (in person) session (5 hours).
6. Once the instructor posts the attendance to the in class session and the link says completed, you can continue to the Grassroots test.
