📣 Registration Reminder for Officials

A quick heads-up as we move forward with the 2025–26 season:

November 20, 2025 — This was the final day to start a membership application for the 2025–26 season. No new or returning officials can begin the process after this date.

December 31, 2025 — Last day to complete all membership requirements (seminars, modules, rules exam, SafeSport, background screening). After this, the database closes and no cards/crests will be issued.

🗓 Looking Ahead:

May 1, 2026 — 2026–27 membership applications open.

December 1, 2025 — All 2024–25 memberships expired.

January 1, 2026 — 2025–26 membership fully closes.
