Reffing goes by calendar year, not by season.
So if he gets certified now, he'll be able to ref this year, and then he'll have to re-certify in late fall/winter for 2024.

My 15 year old wants to become a ref in VA for the 2023-24 season. I'm confused by the info on the metro DC-VA state referee website. If he doesn't want to ref until 2023-24, does that mean he should wait until July to begin the online course? Or can he do the online part now and the field training later?
