Important Information for Referees

The OSSRC website (ossrc.com) is where your work (OSSRC profile) will be reviewed by Administrators: US Soccer License and NFHS Concussion upload. IT TAKES UP TO 14 DAYS for the US Soccer and OSSRC to complete the sync process, your admin to review your profile, and a badge to sent to you via US Postal Mail. Badges will be mailed once you have completed all requirements. Every failure to complete requirements will result in a week “stall” in the process.

Concussion Training

The NFHS has teamed up with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to educate coaches, officials, parents and students on the importance of proper concussion recognition and management in high school sports. This course highlights the impact of sports-related concussion on athletes, teaches how to recognize a suspected concussion, and provides protocols to manage a suspected concussion with steps to help players return to play safely after a concussion. Each state's requirements for concussion management are included as part of the course.

A Spanish track is also available for this course.
