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.
