The Delaware State Referee Committee is in the process of transitioning to a web based registration, training event and assignment management process. For those officials who are currently active within the Delaware SRC Arbiter system, you will receive your re-certification clinic invitation via your schedule page in Arbiter. For those officials who are not currently registered within arbiter, you will receive your invitation via email to the email address currently on file with your USSF Registration. All invitations for the 2017 Certification year have been processed and either emailed or assigned in Arbiter. If you have not received either and are eligible to be re-certified for 2017, please contact Mr. Bob Wood at SYRA@socrefde.com or by phone at 302-531-4444 to arrange scheduling.
