NJYS Player and Coach passes are valid from September 1 through August 31 (the soccer seasonal year.)

bullet

Teams that played in any league this past Fall season, and have already been carded with NJYS passes, do not need new packets and are termed "RETURNING" teams.

bullet

Teams playing this Spring Season for the first time are termed "NEW" teams and will need a NJYS Carding Packet.

bullet

Teams that do not have NJYS passes are termed "NEW" teams and will need a NJYS Carding Packet. (US Club Soccer passes can not be used in MCYSA.)

bullet

Division 1 or 2 teams that have already purchased and received a Carding Packet do not need new packets, but should be listed as  "NEW" teams on the club and team registrations in order for our counts to be correct. If you've already paid for the packet, there are NO additional registration fees due - but a full registration record must be submitted for the team.

Carding Packets will be ordered based on the number of registrations received and will be distributed at the February 4th League Contact meeting.

REFEREE Courses
- Notice from MCYSA Senior Referee Kyle C. Haddock
=== === === === === === === === === === === ===

bullet

I encourage all to distribute this listing throughout their clubs and continue to check the www.njrefs.com  web site for additional entry level Grade 8 classes to Referee youth soccer games.

bullet

Clubs: There are many budding Referees amongst our coaching, parent, and player ranks. Please encourage folks within your community to become Youth Soccer Referees. Teenage and college age players are motivated by a recent increase in game fees and the potential for experiences that can last a lifetime. For those who have hung up the boots it's a great way to stay close to a game many of us love. Parents have an opportunity to give back to the game as a Referee or simply an opportunity to participate in a class to better understand the laws of the game. I've known many coaches who have encourage existing players to participate as Referee's to better their knowledge of the game. I've never met a coach or X-player that regretted the experience of becoming a Referee and many retain their licenses for years to come.

The Entry Level Referee course is a 20-hour course, which will take place over two (2) weekend days (8 hours each day) followed by a test night (4 hours). Students (minimum is age 14) are required to attend all sessions in order to be eligible to take the written examination. The cost per participant is $35.00 which covers the cost of the instructors, booklets, and logistics for the school payable to NJREFS.

bullet

At the conclusion of the instructional classes a written examination will be given to all who have completed the course.

bullet

The examination is 100 questions and students must get 75% correct in order to pass the test. Students who fail the exam may retake it at any other New Jersey Entry Level Referee School at no additional cost.

bullet

Students that pass the exam will be given a USSF registration form to register as a USSF Referee. An additional registration fee to register as a USSF Referee must be paid at the conclusion of the class. This fee is yearly and is part of the USSF Referee recertification process to maintain your registration status. The current fee for entry-level referees is $25.00, but is subject to change at the discretion of the United States Soccer Federation.

bullet

MCYSA is coordinating this class on behalf its member clubs with the NJ State Referee Committee. Registration for this class will be coordinated by Kyle Haddock. All inquiries are to be emailed to Kyle Haddock, MCYSA Sr. Referee.
