NPPL is looking for quality local referees to ref the NPPL Chicago Open May 29,30,31st.

Rain or Shine the NPPL will host a Pro referee tryout and practice session May 16th at CPX Sports park 8am-4pm. Referees will have the opportunity to participate and ref NPPL Pro team Chicago Legend.

Teams can practice all day long on the official Chicago Field Layout. This is a perfect opportunity to not only learn all the angles but to also get reffed by Pro Refs.

Contact CPX Sports for practice fees.

The Referee tryout and certification course will consist of a vigorous program where rules, positioning and communication will be taught, demonstrated and reviewed Referees need to be prepared to take a test on the rules so read the book and bring it to the course. Call or email Valerie for ref application. Valerie@nppl.com.

Full certification is $80.00 to tryout is no charge.

Check out the NPPL PRO Referee page for more info on how to become an official certified referee.

If a ref does not make it to be able to ref the pros, Will he have a chance to ref the divisional level games?

[Chris@NPPL]

Which division you are reffing will be at the discretion of the ultimate referee for the event, and he'll base that off of how you do at the tryout. Pro games are typically reserved for the most experienced NPPL referees, so if may take awhile and a few events to get the training needed to ref the biggest games.
