Officials who wish to work games in the Premier League of the USL Amateur Division (Des Moines Menace) and U20 Super Y League matches are required to attend a scheduled clinic as well as take and pass the required physical fitness test. You will need to ensure that you have also taken the State Level written exam and passed with a grade of 75%, or the entry-level test for Grade 7/8 with a grade of 85%. If you have not taken the test it will be administered after each clinic. For those individuals who are planning on upgrade to the next higher level or those at state level who need to meet the annual maintenance requirements should plan on taking the fitness test during one of the offered sessions.

Assessors are being requested to attend the clinic in order to assure that they are up to date as to current requirements needed to properly evaluate the match.

In order to assure that you have the opportunity to meet the requirements, we will be holding four clinics as follow:

There will not be any make up clinics, these are the ones scheduled. If you do not attend an authorized clinic or camp (National, Regional, Local) do not pass the fitness test or do not pass the written exam I will not be able to assign you to any of these games nor can you be assigned to any other higher level games (D-3, A-league W-3).


I look forward to seeing you on one of the above dates.

Sincerely:
