Answer provided by Referee Richard Dawson

Hi Robert.
welcome back! Just show up at a field and ask those refereeing who the local assignor is. Are there clubs or a local RA in your town?
Please visit the West Tennessee Soccer Referee Association homepage: http://www.wtsra.cc - then click on the 'Instruction' link. You can also get a list of up-coming certification classes across the state on the Tennessee State Soccer Association webpage.

Hi Robert
I suspect little has changed as to how to entered refereeing 15 years ago just the personnel.
Best idea is to speak with a current referee who will direct you to the appropriate contact. Alternatively Referee Dawson has provided web links to the various bodies.
Glad you are returning and best wishes.
