There are two paths:

  1. All Competitive/Travel matches require a state certification, obtained annually, leading up to the Spring/Summer season. You must be 13 years of age to become certified.
  2. All Recreational/Pre-Comp/In-house matches do NOT require a certification, however, if you are certified, you may also work these matches. This program is open to 11 and 12-year olds, as well as those that are older.


We encourage all that are 13 years of age or older to become certified.
