There's an urgent need for sports officials in this nation. More people are needed to step up to do the tough job of making sure sports are fairly played, well-managed and safe environments for all paericipants and spectators.
Sports officiating is a challenging job, but there are great rewards. To be a successful official, you will need mental toughness, good people skills and thick skin. Sports officiating will inherently teach you all of those skills and much more. If you love sports, you will have the best view of the game as an official. More importantly, officiating will teach you how to view the games in a whole new light - one that emphasizes fairness, integrity, decisiveness and sound judgment. Get ready to challenge yourself and start one of the most rewarding jobs you'll ever have!
Graduating this year? Stay in the game. Former D3 athletes like you get paired with a mentor and introduced to officiating from the ground up. You won’t start at the college level. Instead, your mentor will help you start officiating youth or high school games to build your skills and confidence.
It’s flexible, pays well, and keeps you on the field or court. You’ve already got the game sense and leadership. Now it’s time to put it to use.
