[quote=Anonymous][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]

The best would be to not require refs to be re-certified at certain ages and levels.   [/quote]

Actually, I think it's important for referees to retest every year.  It's a great refresher and there are usually law changes to learn as well.[/quote]

For a U9 or U10 game, who cars if the ref is completely up to date on law changes? [/quote]

In my experience....everyone.[/quote]
