REFEREE CERTIFICATION PROCESS
All Cincinnati Hills SAY Soccer referees are required to 
be certified every year.
The 2019 certification (new and returning referees) will involve three key elements; on-line course training, classroom training and on-field training.
You MUST register first at your district (please see Referee Registration) and then at the League (links and instructions are included within the Madeira Referee Registration).

- League policies and requirements
b) Classroom sessions will cover the following topics:
- Points-of-emphasis (League policies, game management, etc.)
- Pre-game procedures
- Game management
- Core focus areas - off-sides, handling, foul recognition, etc.

- Referee on-line account training (within our new league sites)
c) On-field training will cover the following topics:
