Concussion Education and Baseline Testing

According to the C.D.C., the rate of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) ER visits for children and youth between 5 and 18 of age increased 57%. This is likely due to increased awareness of the importance of early diagnosis of TBI and baseline testing.

In our continued effort to educate WSA Parents and Coaches on youth concussions, please use the Concussion Education and Baseline Testing link under Site Contents to educate yourselves with HEADS UPS Concussion in Youth Sports online training. Also provided is a link to conduct Baseline testing through ImPACT for your children and players.

How to Become a Referee

The New Jersey State Referee Committee (NJSRC) administrates classes which certify and register successful attendees to become a USSF referee. The USSF has a referee grading system which specifies what level games the referee may officiate. In New Jersey you may become a new referee at either the Grade 9 or Grade 8 level. A Grade 9 referee can officiate recreational games; generally recreational games are small sided, "in-town" games played by younger players. A Grade 8 referee can officiate all youth games. The Grade 9 course is NOT required before taking the Grade 8 course.

Course requirements and dates are available at the New Jersey State Referee Committee website.
