NOTE
*** You can work as a NEW JR REFEREE immediately upon completion of the In-Person Class/Test with NJSRC when you show proof of being signed up for (but before attending) the On-Field Training with NJSRC.
This accommodation is being made because we have been made aware there are very limited in person training sessions available this season. NEW Jr Referees will not be able to work alone or receive pay raises until they complete the On-Field training and become fully licensed USSF referees.
