* Note: Players who are age 13 or older on June 30 2010 are no longer eligible to participate in the Club Official program and are instead eligible for the CJSA Grade 8 certification program; watch this page for more information on the CJSA Certification program that is yet to come.

To all Referees and Club Officials,

We are now in the process of migrating the role of Referee Coordinator over to a couple of recent volunteers. During this transition, we will also be scheduling new training clinics for the CJSA Grade 8 Entry Level certification. Please watch this space for updates on these classes.
