REFEREEING OUT OF STATE
Each State has a different policy for visiting officials who want to visit and referee there. It's the responsibility of each Delaware referee to be registered for the current year and in good standing when accepting either instate or out of state affiliated games. Below is information and/or links to our neighboring state's and other State Referee Associations' websites. Referees who intend to travel out of state to officiate must understand and adhere to the policies of the state they will be visiting.
- EPA - This link will take you to the 'Out of State Referees' page on the EPSARC website. Follow the instructions for Visiting Referees.
- MD - Per the MD SRA (1-22-2019); Maryland requires that visiting referees are registered for the current year and are in good standing. They do not require either the referee or the Delaware SRA to send that information unless there is a problem.
- NJ - The NJSRC now requires each visiting referee and the home state SRA, or their designee, to fill out a form to send to the NJ assignor that the referee will be working for. Each DE registered referee will be considered the SRA's designee and will be expected to complete the form in its entirety and submit it to the NJ assignor.
- State Referee Associations - This link will take you to the US Soccer website page with links to all state referee associations.
