Make an Impact - Become an Official!
Officiating is not just about making calls - it's about leadership, growth, and being part of something bigger. Men and women of all ages are needed to officiate at the high school level. If you love sports, have a feel for the game, a basic grasp of the rules and a willingness to learn, you can become a successful official - and have fun along the way.
Officials and judges are a valuable and vital part of high school co-curricular activities.
Why Officiate?
- Challenge Yourself -- Master the rules, make split-second decisions, and grow as a leader.
- Stay in the Game -- Officiating helps keep you close to, and involved in the sports you love.
- Make an Impact -- Help athletes compete in a fair and safe environment.
- Earn Recognition -- Work hard, get noticed, and earn State Tournament assignments.
- Move Up -- Advance your officiating journey to the college level and beyond.
