Phase III of the USAPA Referee Certification program is complete and the referee certification application is now live at usapa.org.  Before you apply be sure that you meet the application prerequisites. Applications will be reviewed and processed on a first-to-apply basis, so don’t procrastinate. Before completing the application form you will be required to indicate that you have read, understand and agree to the Applicant Terms of Understanding and Agreement. Please read these carefully. They contain important information regarding what will be required of you to pass the on-court evaluation. If you cannot demonstrate that you are capable of following and consistently applying the USAPA refereeing standards and procedures contained in the USAPA Referee Handbookyou will not pass the on-court evaluation and, therefore, will not be issued certification credentials. If you apply, but are not adequately prepared you will be wasting your money and the evaluator’s time. The information you provide on the application will be verified and, if accepted into the program you will receive an email containing a payment link where you can pay the $95 application fee via PayPal or credit card. Once the fee is paid you will receive a list of upcoming on-court evaluation venues and dates from which to choose. Space is limited and evaluations will be scheduled on a first-to-reply basis. Before applying please be certain that you are mentally prepared and that your refereeing skills are consistent with the standards and procedures. We look forward to you becoming a USAPA certified referee.
