Returning Officials

In preparation for the 2025-26 season, there are some important updates to the recertification process to be aware of, for all returning officials. This season, all returning officials are now required to complete annual recertification in two (2) Phases:

PHASE ONE (1) - Pre-requisites [both to be completed before Phase Two (2)]:

Step 1: Criminal Record Check (CRC) (required for all officials 18 years or older)

o Check your CRC status within your Spordle account.

o If you require a CRC, complete this online submission process.
