Re-Cert Clinics

You must pre-register for a course before attending. Log into GAME OFFICIALS with your user name and password. From the Main Menu select "Courses". Select "Referee Courses". Select "Recert Clinic & Testing" that is appropriate for your referee grade. Select the "Course Number" and register. We recommend you pay on line with a credit card so you will not have to stand in a line to pay at the clinic.

Complete the written test on line before attending the recert clinic. If you fail, study some more and take it again on line.

Local dues will be collected at the clinic. Bring $20 cash or a separate check for this payment payable to "WNYSRA".
