AYSO/USSF REFEREES WHO WANT TO CROSS-CERTIFY
Cross-certification is available to referees of AYSO and USSF who have been certified as referees for six months or more and who are not certified with both organizations.  AYSO and USSF games may be applied toward the certification requirements of either AYSO or USSF.  The diagonal system of control is the only recognized system of control.
