Referees


Last year was the first time we requested each team bring their own referee. Given the importance of continual referee development in the US, we'll carry the tradition forward. Each team will again be required to provide a full-time (non-playing) USA Touch Level 2 referee or equivalent to enter the tournament.


The ability to have our entire membership focus on referee development is much needed at our current level of experience. As mentioned last year, our growth in experience and skill as players will only grow in response to that of our referees moving forward.


As an acknowledgement of the importance of the refereeing program to the growth of USA Touch, we'll be providing free lunch and physio to all referees throughout the tournament.


Additional Information

  • Nationals will be hosted at the Omni ChampionsGate Resort - fields are on-site in the complex.
