Nevada State Referee Committee

New Referee Registration

New referee training courses are offered by the Nevada State Referee Committee using currently registered USSF instructors.  The Nevada State Referee Commitee strongly suggests that participants in all referee courses be 14 years of age at the time of the course in order to comply with the "Federal and State Labor Laws".  The Nevada State Referee Committee strongly recommends that, whenever possible, referees with less than two years experience not be assigned as the center referee on competitive matches.

New Referees should visit the materials and link page of this website to download helpful information about advice after becoming a new referee.
