How is BRYC assuring the quality of refereeing?
For the last 15 years BRYC has provided United States Soccer Federation (USSF) certified training for all of its officials. This training requires 15 hours of instruction and a passing grade of 75 percent on the USSF test for all new referees. USSF also requires five hours of recertification training, which includes retesting, each year. BRYC officials receive and additional 3-4 hours of training and instruction each season through our regular meetings. All BRYC youth officials start as linesmen and after ten games are eligible to take the BRYC center upgrade test. This test is specially designed to ensure that our younger officials are ready to take on the responsibilities of working in the center.
