US Soccer has revamped the referee training program which has opened up many more opportunities for those interested in becoming a referee here in Deridder.  BUSA will still have the club referee training however we encourage anyone interested to complete the new Grassroots referee program.  This program has a mandatory online portion which is managed by US Soccer and then an “on-field” portion that is conducted by individual state associations.   
This new first time referee course has online assignments and an in-person session that will provide “Grassroots” referee certification. Note: While Covid19 restrictions are in place, the “in-person” session will be conducted “virtually” using ZOOM.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. SIGN-UP and create a profile in US Soccer’s Learning Center. (https://learning.ussoccer.com)

3. Complete all course ASSIGNMENTS.
