Re-Certification for current officials will begin in November of 2012.
There is a change in the levels of certification.
Officials can be certified in a variety of disciplines, with each discipline falling under
either a set of Levels or a set of Grades defined as follows:
A. Levels: All disciplines offered with Levels will follow the five level path listed below.
Disciplines at a particular level may have a common combined discipline at the
previous level and may also be split into more than one discipline when advancing to
the next level. All disciplines at a particular level will have the same requirements as
other disciplines at that level for both initial certification and advancement.
1. Apprentice: New Officials
2. Association: Officials who are ready to take on more responsibility at meets
within their own Association.
3. National: Officials who are ready to take on more responsibility outside of their
Association and serve as head officials within their Association.
4. Master: Officials who are capable of serving as head officials at major regional
and national meets.
5. Emeritus: Master-level officials who have retired from active officiating.
B. Grades: Each discipline offered with Grades will have a custom set of grades
starting with Grade 1 and increasing in number as needed. Certification at each
grade and advancement to the next grade will be based on a custom set of
requirements for each discipline.
Click on the link below to look at the differences. No one will have their current level of certification changed.
