Changes to Referee Certification and Recertification

Effective January 1, 2015 the CSRP has made changes to the Recertification Process.

For 2015 an “In Service” training requirement has been added to the Referee Recertification Process.

Numerous “In Service” clinics are being added to the CSRP Event Calendar from the beginning of the year till August when the Recertification Process usually begins. If an individual attends an “In Service” clinic the Recertification Process will be the same as it was last year. If a Referee does not attend an “In Service” clinic before the start of the Recertification Process there will be additional online components to complete during the Recertification Process.

The CSRP encourages all Referees to attend an “In Service” clinic before starting the Recertification Process for the 2016 officiating year.


Please read the document 2015 CSRP Referee Certification and Recertification Requirements to review and become familiar with the changes that may impact your Referee Grade.

Unanchored Goals

Unanchored Goals = Serious Injury

It is the responsibility of the Referee to check for the safety of the players!!!

The Referee's authority begins upon arrival at the area of the field of play and continues until he or she has left the area of the field after the game has been completed. The Referee's authority extends to time when the ball is not in play, to temporary suspensions, to the half-time break, and to additional periods of play or kicks from the penalty mark required by the rules of the competition.

The first order of business for the Referee team upon entering the field is to determine the fitness of the field. Failing to perform that duty is a significant breach of the Referees' responsiblies and represents Referee misconduct.

IF Goals Are Not Anchored - Do Not Start The Game!!!
