Welcome Returning Referees

Q. What do I need to do to get on the dropdown list?

A. See the checklist below.

Checklist for RETURNING referees:

q Get the referee registration form, already filled out for you, from your email. You can email the registrar if you can't find it. You can find their address here.

q Fill it out completely. Don't forget to sign, and to put your SSN on the form. Do not email your SSN.

q Look up your fee and initial payment for assignments here.

q Send your registration form and check for fees and initial payment for assignments to the registrar. You can find their address here.

q Get your COPE certificate. The clicks sometimes change, but the procedure should be about the same. Click here for current instructions.

q Take the High School Test. You can take it online (click on "Member's LOGIN at www.taso.org) with your TASO ID and PW (email TASO (see contacts at www.taso.org) if you can't find your old password), or take the test during the December meeting. We are working on other solutions.

q You will get accounting statements via email. Look at them carefully to see that the information is correct.

q Call your assignor, and get scrimmages. These are the BEST way to refresh your high school skills. You can find their phone number and email address here.

Q. Do I have to go to meetings?

A. No, the reguirement to go is no longer in effect. However, the meetings are a chance to:
1) Meet the new referees.
2) Renew old friendships.
3) Get training. This training will help you with actual field position, decisions, rules, etc.
4) Meet your assignor(s). Let them know what has changed with you.

Q. I used to be a TASO referee (Houston or elsewhere) and I want to get back in. Do I register as a "new" referee?

A. NO. You need to register as a returning referee, but you will also need to pay a "reinstatement fee" to TASO of $25. See the registration page here. Contact the registrar for a regisitration form.

HAVE A GREAT SEASON.
