RE-CERTIFICATION:

Depending on when you register during the year, you may have to re-certify in 1 year or 1 ½ years. For example, if you register over the Winter in 2022, you will need to re-certify and pay again at the end of 2022 to be certified for 2023. BUT If you register over the Summer of 2022, you will be registered to referee in the Fall of 2022, and all of 2023. You will need to pay at the end of 2023 to be certified for 2022. You get 1 ½ years for the price of 1 registration fee.
