Interested in Becoming an Football Official?

THE CHALLENGE of officiating can provide some great personal rewards.

As an official, you must make instantaneous decisions, resolve conflicts, and deal with stress and pressure. You are in a position to be a positive role model around children and young adults. Most officials start at the youth and recreational program level.
As you improve your skills and gain confidence, you will begin to ascend the ladder and work middle school and high school level games.

From there, you may choose to seek advancement into the small college and major college programs where officials are "scouted" by assigners, league commissioners, or coaches.

The final step for a fortunate and successful few is the pro leagues. Only after many years of hard work and selfless dedication might an official reach that pinnacle.
Sports officials must be able to bring control to chaos; understand fairness; promote safety and encourage good sportsmanship. A sports official must have the positive characteristics of a police officer, lawyer, judge, accountant, reporter, athlete, and diplomat.
A good sports official who put in a position of authority must handle the responsibility without being overbearing.
As a sports official, you are in charge, but it is the players who the fans have come to watch, not you.
