2024 Regional clinics

More details (times, locations, and more) are on the area calendars. We’ll add to this list as the clinic dates are announced. If you cannot attend your area’s Regional clinic in person, consider attending one in another area (see the area’s webpage). Let the facilitator of that clinic know that you’re from a different area so you can get credit. If you can’t do that either, you must watch the RefReps clinic on-demand streaming; see the instructions on our Training page.

• Area 1 – Saturday, Aug 3
• Area 2 – Saturday, Aug 10
• Area 3 – Saturday, July 27
• Area 4 – Saturday, July 27
• Area 12 – Friday, July 19 or Saturday, July 20
• Area 13 – Wednesday, Aug 7

Mileage Compensation (Travel Fees) for 2023:

• 1.  Any referee travelling less than 20 miles to their game will automatically receive a $10.00 travel stipend. This includes all parts of the state not just the Denver Metro and Colorado Springs area.
• 2.  If one referee travels less than 20 miles (one way) and one travels more, the one under 20 miles will receive the $10.00, and the one travelling more will receive $.50 cents per mile round trip or $1 per mile one way.
• 3.  If both referees are travelling more than 20 miles (one way) whoever is driving furthest will receive the mileage, regardless of who actually drives.  In almost all instances where both referees are travelling greater than 20 miles, carpooling is expected.   
• 4.  In an instance where two referees travel more than 20 miles (one way) to a game, and it is impractical for them to travel together (for instance a referee from Sterling and a referee from Fort Collins meet to referee a game at Frederick) both referees will be paid the .50 cents per mile round trip stipend or $1 per mile one way.
• 5.  It is at the discretion of the assignor, in consultation with the schools, when and if travel together is impractical.  Referees may always decide to travel separately, but the single mileage will be paid to one referee and they will need to figure out the split between themselves.  If there is ever any question, it is a good decision to contact your assignor BEFORE the game.
