United States Soccer Federation (USSF) On Line Registration 2009 for Idaho
All referees must attend a clinic and take the recertification test, unless you
already have a 2009 badge. All officials though are encouraged to attend. You
won't have to pay any fees to attend if you already have your 2009 badge.
Please note the dates, times and locations. The Idaho Soccer Referee Committee
(ISRC) will appreciate your attendance at these clinics. Knowing your
commitment to the game of soccer and soccer officiating, we hope you'll
do your best to be there.
Please register on-line at USSF before you attend the clinic. Complete and verify your information and
bring confirmation (print out) to the recertification clinic. Pay only your
USSF registration fees on-line (see USSF fee list below). Paying your USSF fees
will not recertify you for 2009. Attendance at an Idaho Recertification Clinic
is mandatory for recertification (see Idaho clinic list below).
When you go to www.ussoccer.info <http://www.ussoccer.info>, DO NOT create a new user name and password.
Please follow the instructions below to complete your registration. This
program will allow you to pay all your fees, input your game counts and update
your personal information as necessary. It will help make sure that you are kept up-to-date on all information and that
your information is sent correctly to assignors during 2009.

There has been
a change in USSF registration fees for 2009. Due to the increase, there will be
no clinic fee charged for the 2009 re-certification clinics. Pay your USSF fees
only.
Background
Over the past eight years, USSF
has dramatically increased the investment in the referee program at all levels
from improved training materials to increased training of young referees and full-time
referees. In fact, the annual expenditure in the referee department has
increased from $1.5 million per year to a projected $2.8 million in the current
fiscal year. Throughout this time, revenue has increased only slightly due to a
greater number of registrations from $1.72 million to $1.9 million. Unfortunately,
this means the current fee structure is no longer sustainable for long-term
referee development and we will be implementing a fee change for the 2009
calendar year.
Fee Change Process
In April, the Referee
Committee met and discussed the new fee structure at length, reviewing each fee
charged and determining an appropriate increase. On June 15, U.S. Soccer’s Board of
Directors reviewed and approved the new fee structure. As you know, we take any change in fees
extremely seriously and have not implemented a change in referee fees for over
22 years. This coupled with our
increased investment make it necessary to implement a fee change at this time. Please note that per the current policy,
all State Referee Committee’s retain 50% of the registration fee. As per
the current policy, 100% of the assignor fees are retained by U.S. Soccer. The new fees will be effective for the
2009 Registration year and are implemented for all 2009 registrations as of
July 16, 2008.
