NJ Refs Grassroots Referee Certification note

If you would like to become a referee for the MUSC recreation program, you must first obtain a "Grassroots Referee" license by completing the US Soccer Referee course offered through the New Jersey Referee Committee. This class is geared toward the youth referee who wants to start officiating recreational games, as well as working as an assistant referee for competitive travel games up to U14.
NOTE FOR FALL 2023
*** You can work as a NEW JR REFEREE immediately upon completion of the In-Person Class/Test with NJSRC when you show proof of being signed up for (but before attending) the On-Field Training with NJSRC.
This accommodation is being made because we have been made aware there are very limited in person training sessions available this season. NEW Jr Referees will not be able to work alone or receive pay raises until they complete the On-Field training and become fully licensed USSF referees.
