[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD stopped reffing because of scheduling conflicts with her soccer games and tournaments. She couldn't ref enough games to cover the recertification costs and make it somewhat worthwhile.[/quote]

This is effectively why leagues don’t cover the cost of certification/recertification.  They would end up with a bunch of people holding onto certifications indefinitely at the league’s expense when they don’t plan to ref enough to make it worthwhile.[/quote]

That’s why I think reimbursing after X number of games completed is best. [/quote]

Okay, but then they would need to decrease the pay rate to offset the cost of (re)certification.  [/quote]

They would not need to reduce pay rate. It could actually save the club money to pay up front certification costs if it results in more referees, so less need to pay extra last minute bonuses for uncovered games[/quote]

This is a very good point.[/quote]
