FAQ’s
1. I don't see a clinic in my area, what should I do?
-
We begin scheduling clinics in early July; clinics will be held during the months of July – November. We will continue to add clinics to our schedule through the end of August. Most big cities in the DFW area (Arlington, Plano, Frisco, Lewisville, Denton, Keller and many others) will host a clinic. There will be approximately 60 clinics offered. If you want to be a referee – sign up. If you do not see a clinic that will be held in your area, you may check the list of scheduled clinics again in a few days to see if new clinics have been scheduled.
2. What happens if you can no longer attend the in-person clinic?
-
Not to worry, things happen. You must notify us via email before the clinic day if you cannot attend. We charge a $5.00 fee, payable by credit card only, to transfer from one clinic to another clinic. If you need to change your in-person clinic, email North Texas Soccer at referees@ntxsoccer.org. In that email, please include your name as it appears in your profile in OMS, the name, date, and time of the clinic you are registered to attend, and the name, date, and time of the clinic you would like to transfer into. In addition, include your phone number in the email; we will call you to collect credit card information. Please be courteous and notify the office staff @ referees@ntxsoccer.org and Ann Hicks @ ahicks.sdi.ntx.2024@gmail.com. By emailing both, that should ensure your message is received. Include your name and what clinic you need to be removed from. Do give us plenty of notice when able.
3. What happens if I have issues with U.S. Soccer’s Learning Center (USSLC)?
-
We cannot help troubleshoot the USSF website issues (ex., issues with background checks, user account, SafeSport, etc.) You may want to review the US Soccer Learning Center FAQ and support process. If you have issues with the course, please contact referees@ntxsoccer.org.
4. I have read the directions, and I still am having issues. Who can I contact?
5. Are you sure you can’t add one more seat into a clinic?
6. Failure to show up at the clinic: What will happen?
-
If you fail to show up for the in-person clinic without providing advance notice as detailed in #2 above, then you will not receive a refund of the clinic fee. You will be able to attend another clinic once you pay to attend another clinic. The reason for this policy is that clinics in the DFW metroplex fill up. We have a limit on the number of seats per clinic. We do not want any empty seats.
7. How do I know that I am certified?
8. When will I get game assignments? Who will I work for?
9. Where do I get my uniform?
