Probably the first thing you should do, if you haven’t done so already, is read the requirements for the grade you are seeking, which are found in the USSF Referee Administrative Handbook: USSF Referee Administrative Handbook(This will take a while if you're using a dial-up connection.)
In Oregon, we ask that you contact the State Referee Administrator to indicate your desire to seek upgrade. Be prepared. For example, have a list of the games that qualify you to move to the next grade.
After we hear from you, we’ll verify that you’ve met the applicable requirements so far and that you really are ready to proceed. We’ll also try to answer your questions and do what we can to help you succeed.
