HSC only uses USSF grade 8 certified referees or better. The grade 8 certification is awarded after completion of an 18 hour EPYSA run program and a passing rating on a 100 point test. Entry level (new) referees are also required to participate in a club run scrimmage to gain first hand experience prior to being assigned to an in-house or travel game.

Did you know that after every game the referee has to file a report? Referees are required to report the score as well as any misconduct during the game. Any card issued to a player is reviewed by the Board of Directors. For travel, the club could be fined by the sponsoring organization if they feel it necessary. Be kind to your referee. They are someone's kid. They're there to make the game playable and to keep everyone safe.
