All STARs must attend certification or recertification training prior to the Spring 2008 season, except those who completed a class after July 2007 and already received a 2008 USSF badge.  Returning STARs with 2008 badges are not required to attend training until after the Fall 2008 season.

Returning STARs select a recertification clinic here:
