If you are 18 years old or older, you must have a "Coach" membership or "+Checked" membership and pass the online background check. The Good news is that if you renew your memberships now, it will go through next season!!!! https://member.usfencing.org/membership-types 2. If you are 18 years old or older, you must also complete the free Online Safe Sport Training. Log into your USA Fencing profile to take this training once you have purchased your "+checkED" membership. Please e-mail your completed SafeSport Certificates and your new USFA Coach or "+checkED" Membership cards to heath@fencing.com. ********************************************************** If you referee FOUR Central California Division Tournaments, you will be Reimbursed $50.00. The written test is now offered online. https://www.usafencing.org/referees-process Please make sure that you have adequately prepared by going through the Study Guide: https://www.usafencing.org/referees Attending an official Referee Commission sanctioned clinic is a prerequisite for attempting the written exam. Once a passing score (90%) has been achieved on the written exam (both the general section and one or more weapon-specific sections) a referee receives a rating of "P" in each weapon passed. Further rating improvements (10-1) can be obtained at a later date by being evaluated in a practical setting at tournaments. The lecture and question-and-answer format on Saturday will provide a broad understanding of the role, responsibilities, and duties of a referee. It is not a study group for test preparation. It is expected that participants will have read the study guide and come prepared with a willingness to learn how to be better referees and fencers. The cost of the clinic is $100/person. *********************************************************** Additional Resources: In Preparation for the Clinic, here is a great series of videos on youtube that offers lots of advice and support for Referees. https://www.youtube.com/user/FencerRefCoach/videos?flow=list&live_view=500&sort=da&view=0 *********************************************************** Who should attend: - Aspiring referees - who want to learn how right of way and rules are being applied at a national and international level - Athletes - who want to improve their games and get a more complete understanding of their sport - Coaches - who want to maintain their grasp of current interpretations and rules updates - Parents - who want a better understanding of tournament format and the basics of sport-fencing for their children - Current referees - who need to fulfill their yearly requirement for seminar attendance or further their personal development ------------------ Important Info: ------------------- Clinic: Referee Seminar with Justin Meehan Location: The Fencing Center of San Jose ------------------ To Preregister: ------------------ Check FRED for more info, like who is already preregistered, and such: Who is preregistered: http://askfred.net/Clinics/whoIsComing.php?clinic_id=48100 More info: http://askfred.net/Clinics/moreInfo.php?clinic_id=48100 http://askfred.net/ Thanks for using FRED!
