FITNESS TESTING
For referees looking to upgrade to or maintain a Regional referee status, no fitness testing is required for “Referees.”
Regional referees or Regional candidates must pass a Fitness Test within the 12 calendar months preceding the certification year. A test may only count towards a single year.
Part 1 - Sprints
-
6 sprints of 40 meters for Referee / 30 meters for AR
-
Dynamic start with one foot on a line 1.5 meters from the electronic start gate
-
If a referee trips or falls, they are allowed another “free” attempt
-
One miss is allowed. Two misses is a failure. If one is missed, the referee will run 7 sprints.
Part 2- Intervals
-
10 consecutive laps of 75 meters running / 25 meters walking recovery
-
1 lap = (4) of the 75-meter / 25-meter intervals
-
Recovery area is marked with cones at 3 meters on each side of the 75m line
-
If a referee fails to reach the recovery area within the time, they are issued a “caution”
-
If a referee fails to reach the recovery area within the time a second time, they have failed the test
