Officials

    When a club receives permission to host a contest, it must enlist qualified officials for the event. Officials, including a meet director, must also be members of USA Roller Sports, and their qualifications are determined by commissions they hold.  The level of commission is determined by training, testing and experience of the judge, referee and/or tabulators.  Meet directors are certified by attending a meet directors certification program  sponsored and conducted by USA Roller Sports.

    1. You must become a member with USA  Roller Sports.  You may accomplish this by purchasing an Officials Membership for $50, or you may receive a Complementary Officials Membership with the purchase of either a competitive or non-competitive membership card or becoming a coach.  PLEASE SEE THE 2019-2020 MEMBERSHIP FEES LIST for Athlete and Coaching membership costs.
