It is with heavy hearts we are letting you know that the WA Soccer Referee family has lost one of its founding fathers. “Whitey” Craggs passed away in his sleep
at his Ballard home at the age of 87. Whitey was a respected Referee at both the State and National level. He began refereeing senior games in WA in 1962 and officiated one year in the North America Soccer League. He was a National Referee for over 40 years. He served as treasurer and referee coordinator for the WA State Referee Committee from 1962 to 1978. He was inducted into the Soccer Referee Hall of Fame in 1981. He received the Barney Kempton Award for outstanding service to the soccer community. And last fall was named one of Washington Youth Soccer’s top 50 citizens. But to most of us who knew Whitey, he was a mentor, a friend and just a great person to be around. He used his personality and humor as tools to deal with difficult players and put everyone at ease. Yet, there was no doubt that he was the Referee. Wain Jackson, current SDA, remembers running a line for Whitey once when a fan, who obviously did not like the way Whitey was calling the game yelled out “Hey Ref, you are missing a good game.” And without missing a beat, Whitey yelled back to him “Yeah I know. They sent me here instead!” Indeed, Whitey was the “father of Refereeing” in Seattle. Here are a few quotes from friends who knew Whitey well: Linda Velie – “Oh my. The end of an era. I owe all I became in the Referee world to him.” Rachel Berg Belfield – “What a personality he was. So memorable and influential in so many lives for generations.” Bob Fadden – “A great coach and mentor.” Don Torretti – “Sorry to hear of Whitey’s passing. I have many fond memories of him from back in the 80s.” Tim Busch – “Truly a legend that will be missed by our soccer family.” Betty Schmeck – “End of an era. Whitey was such a character, wonderful sense of humor, and always had a story to share!” Scott Lawrence – “He was a mentor, coach and friend. He taught us all to approach refereeing (and life) with humility, empathy humor.” |

Referees not recertified/reregistered for the next year by June 15 will not be allowed to referee until the following Jan 01 at the very soonest. This applies to anyone who has ever been a referee at any time in the past. If a referee falls into this category, they are allowed to recertify for the next year in the period between July 01 and Dec 31 but will not be given a badge and not allowed to referee until the following Jan 01. If you are certified for 2017, you have until June 2018 to recertify for 2018. This restriction is based on current USSF policy and USSF provide liability insurance. |

The US Soccer Referee Program has recently released new Certification, Re-Certification and Upgrade requirements for all Referee Grades. After much study, communications with the US Soccer Referee Program office and other State Referee Committees, the Washington State Referee Committee has adopted the new requirements effective immediately for the 2014 Registration Year. These new requirements, and any variations from the Referee Program requirements, are detailed under the Administration option of the Main Menu above. Click Certification Requirements (updated 09-02-2016) for a direct link to the page. In addition, the SRC will often review a referee's "Portfolio" when making decision on who is offered SRC sponsored training & events, assignments and travel. See this document for more information: SRC Portfolio Guidelines |
