Many districts host fitness tests. The Fitness Test supervisor marks the results on E2E/RefCentre and will determine the level passed within the fitness test. Referees are to register with their district for the fitness test and if they cannot make the date for the test, they then can run the test with a different District. The tests must be completed by May 31st of the current season. If a referee has an injury and cannot attend a test before May 31st, they MUST send a letter with a Doctors note dated before May 31st to the Manager of Referee Development (npearson@soccer.on.ca) and request an extension. Each case is handled individually.
The due date for applications from the District Referee Coordinators is April 15th, 2011.
A referee can/will be Downgraded for the upcoming season if the mandatory fitness test was not completed or passed at the appropriate level.
