The MN High School Association is introducing a new program this year to reimburse clinic and exam fees: The fees for the clinic and the general exam plus one weapon exam will be reimbursed provided the individual earns a rating and referees at least two high school dates (dual meets, SPA Invitational, Holy Family Giant Dual Meet, State Meet (either one or two days)). This year the Coaches Assoc. is looking to expand the referee pool which is why the reimbursement program is only open to new referees.
