Continuing Education Video Analysis

The New Hampshire State Referee Committee is excited to introduce a new Continuing Education initiative: Video Analysis Polls. These polls are designed to support your growth and development as a referee by providing interactive learning opportunities.

See our recent Continuing Education posts for past and current polls. Once polls are closed, the videos and answers will be posted on the Poll Archive Page.

Information

Video Analysis Poll Information:

    • Every 4-6 weeks, 2-3 video clips of varying levels of difficulty will be posted on www.nhreferee.org.
    • You will have the chance to review the clips and select the appropriate decision that should be made by the referee crew on the field.
    • For each correct answer, you will be entered into a raffle to win either a free 2025 Referee Registration or OSI Referee gear.
      • Please note: While all referees are welcome to participate in the polls, not all will be eligible for the raffle (see details below).
    • After the poll closes, the correct answers will be shared with all participants and posted on the NH SRC website.

Requirements and Raffle Information:

    • Once the poll submission window closes, one referee who has provided at least one correct answer will be randomly selected to win the raffle prize.
    • Must be licensed through the New Hampshire State Referee Committee.
    • NH Referees holding a Referee or Digital Referee license are eligible for the raffle.
    • Members of the NH SRC, Regional and National referees, those with mentor licenses, and non-NH SRC referees are not eligible for the raffle.

Registration Raffle Details:

    • If you haven’t yet completed your 2025 Referee Registration, you will receive a voucher allowing you to register at no cost.
    • If you’ve already completed your 2025 registration, the SRC will send you a check to reimburse your fee.
    • For referees aged 18 and older, the Background Screening is not covered by the raffle prize, so you will still need to complete and pay for that separately.
    • A referee can win a free registration only once per registration year.

Continuing Education Sessions

The NH-SRC is working to offer Continuing Education Sessions once a month.  Preregistration is required for all sessions. See all Upcoming Classes.

The New Hampshire State Referee Committee desires to offer referees opportunities to refine and advance their skills.  A variety of courses and topics will be offered throughout the year.

Preregistration will be required for each event!
