Re: Physical Fitness Testing and Advanced Clinic
Referees,
Beginning this summer, the Michigan Referee Committee will conduct all physical fitness tests in conjunction with an advanced clinic. All grade 7, 6, and 5 who have run a physical fitness test (NISOA or RTS) do not need to participate in the MI-USSF run but are encouraged to attend the advanced clinic.  HOWEVER, upgrade candidates must take the USSF Fitness test and attend the clinic even if they have already taken the NISOA or RTS fitness test.

There will be no more than 8 of these events between July - August held throughout the state. See below for date and location.

All upgrade candidates MUST participate in one of these MRC sponsored physical fitness events. Information on dates/location can be found below; as new events are scheduled, they will be posted at www.msysareferee.net. You do not need to respond that you will be in attendance. However, you should bring your upgrade form so that that the administrator of the tests can sign off that you have met the criteria.

Note: the endurance run must last 12 minutes.  The purpose of this test is to determine the distance that a referee can cover in 12 minutes. The instructor will log the number of laps completed in 12 minutes. If the referee completes the minimum requirement in less than 12 minutes, he or she must continue running until the instructor signals (with a whistle) that the 12 minutes are up.
