To all FSRA
officials!
PLEASE READ, HEED, and PROCEED, as
there are some changes in the way you should re-certify for
USSF this year.
Prior to completion of
your in-service training, you need to complete the
following:
1. All referees over the age of 18
will be required to go through the Risk
Management process on the OYSAN web site for
2008 registration.
Neither the badge nor pink copy of the
registration form will be given to the referee until it is
verified that he went through the Risk Management
Process. Please
go to this link for this process: https://ssl.hammerhead.net/OhioNorthRM/start.asp.
"Ref1" is the
league, and "70855" is your
password.
A $10.00 State Administrative Fee
will be added to all 2008 referee registrations. A
person will only have one fee added each year even if they are
registered in different categories. Any instructor,
assessor, or assignor that is not a referee will have the
$10.00 administration fee added to that
registration. The
2008 registration fee for a grade 7 or 8 referee will be $35.
2. You need to re-certify for the 2008
season ON LINE
, and bring a copy of your
confirmation. Print two copies for your records, as
you will need them as proof of payment. Using any
Internet browser, go to www.ussoccer.info. Login using your User ID, Password and
follow the directions.
The overriding reasons for this
process are to minimize the work required during and following
recertification, and to greatly reduce the need for
transferring money from FSRA to Ohio North. The only persons that should have to fill
out a hard copy of the 2008 form (at the
AGM or recertification clinics in January or March) are those who are do
not possess a USSF number, did not receive a
USSF 2008 Renewal form, do not have any access to a computer, or
do not want to give the system their credit card information.
Please make the effort and do this ON
LINE.
Please be advised that
there will be only two recertification clinics in early 2008? one
each in January
and March (one on a Saturday and one on
a Sunday each). Can you also receive 1-1/2 hours of
in-service training at our monthly meetings (2nd Thursday's,
7pm, at LCCC, room CC228. However, no test will be given at these
sessions.
