Our volunteer referees invest considerable personal time to learn and train and earn certification, attesting to their level of achievement. Be sure to thank your referee after every game. The referees are DONATING their time, their hard work to train, and their work at the game, to your family.
This table shows the time to get the certificate. It does not include the countless hours of preparation and practice.
