NEW JERSEY TAEWOO ASSOCIATION HOSTS
USA TAEKWONDO REFEREE TRAINING & CERTIFICATION
Get involved as a USAT referee
If you’ve been thinking about becoming a USAT referee, we have three words for you: Now’s the time. It’s easy to get started; just attend a one-day certification seminar in your area and now you know where to go to find out when and where they are taking place.
Or maybe you’ve already got some referee experience, but you’ve been out of the ring for awhile. Now’s a great time to get back in! We guarantee you’ll find it’s as much fun as you remember. (Issues with missed promotions, etc.? Get in touch with your regional Vice Chair, or contact Sarah Randall. We’ll help you sort it out).
