What are the steps to becoming a Referee?

First, please fill out the Referee Application here!

Once that’s done, you’ll need to make sure that you have a USRowing membership, be up-to-date with your SafeSport training, and complete a background check. From there, you’ll need to be enrolled in the College for the Candidate training modules. You’ll also have to complete 6 observations. Once you’ve completed the online training and observations, you’ll be ready to sit for your Assistant Referee exam.
