2025 USA Cycling Chief Referee Workshop

The Chief Referee Workshop is a class that focuses on leadership and teamwork skills, applied to procedures and best practices for all Chief Referees. This class is a component of the B upgrade process described on the official’s advancement and upgrade page.
You qualify for this class if you are a Category C official who has been working through the upgrade modules, working on skill improvements, and tracking your progress through self-assessment and feedback from more experienced officials. The expectation is that officials are ready to advance with an overall self-assessment score of at least 70% at “Developing skill” or higher. This class is also helpful for new B officials who would like to develop and expand on leadership and problem-solving skills to become a better Chief Referee and crew member.
The agenda will include:
- Your role and responsibilities while working with the promoter and staff
- Managing the event and your officiating crew on race day
- Leadership and problem solving, handling race day developments
- Post event review, crew meetings, and USAC reporting
The current plan is to start the course on Friday evening, October 3 and wrap up by noon on Sunday, October 5. The course will be taught by USA Cycling Official, Eve Ben-Ora.
We will need at least 10 registered participants by the deadline, in order to move forward with the course. Once registration closes, we will provide additional information on lodging options.
Attendees will be responsible for their own travel and lodging expenses to attend the courses.
