Checking MSRC Referee Status

As a certified Referee Assignor, you have special access to the Massachusetts State Referee Committee(MSRC) database to verify your referees' certification status.

​Since referee courses are ongoing generally from December through March, you will have to download this list a few times to make sure all your referees are registered in MSRC for the current calendar year.  There are delays between when refs take courses and when those courses are shown as complete and when show up as Active. 

Please remember from your training that this is CONFIDENTIAL information. This list contains the personal information of minors. Protect the data and do not distribute it. 

Questions are welcome at: [email protected] 

Listed below are the steps to download a certified referee list as well as how to search for the status of the referees in your town.
