2023 USSF REFEREE GRADES
US Soccer has changed the grades to the following -
GRASSROOTS REFEREE - ALL grade 7 and 8 referees are now under the category of grassroots referee.
REGIONAL REFEREE - ALL grade 6 referees are now under the category of regional referee.
STATE/REGIONAL NATIONAL ASSISTANT REFEREE CANDIDATE - All grade 5 referees are now under the category of National Assistant Referee Candidate.
STATE/REGIONAL NATIONAL REFEREE CANDIDATE- All grade 5 referees are now under the category of National Referee Candidate.
For 2023 we will only be holding new referee classes under the Grassroots designation. Basically everyone will be taking a grade 8 referee class going forward.
The grade 9 referee class is no longer available.
All re certifications will be as a grassroots referee. If you are a grade 9 referee you will need to take the second day of the grassroots (grade 8) class to finish your grassroots designation.
