Stevens Point (OnFocus) – For those looking to stay in the game or get back in the game, there are great opportunities to look into what it takes to become a sports official.
The NFHS has an easy process for prospective officials in any sport to get information on sports officiating, at highschoolofficials.com.
As the website explains:
There’s a shortage of high school officials in almost every sport. In some communities the shortage is critical and high school games are being either postponed or cancelled.
Becoming a high school official is the easiest call you’ll ever make. High school officials protect the integrity of the games our kids love to play by demonstrating qualities like honesty, objectivity, consistency, courage and common sense. They have the opportunity to help teenagers learn life lessons that will benefit them for a lifetime. As veteran officials continue to retire, new officials have an opportunity to make a huge difference in the lives of hundreds of young people every year.
Consider the many benefits of becoming a high school official:
- You’ll be a role model for the youth in your community
- It’s a great way to stay in good physical condition
- Hours are flexible
- You’ll earn extra income
- You’ll expand your network of friends and have fun
