Conditioning

This is the one sport in which the only conditioning needed is to be able to stand on your feet for long periods of time and be able to move within a 6-8 feet back and forth. You will also need to be able to stand on a referee stand and climb 3-4 steps.

Temperament

Coaches & players are usually mellow compared to other sports. Fans who get unruly are addressed by host management. So officials don't take to much abuse.

Wisdom

You will be asked to learn the rules, but what is most important is that you know how to apply them. Prior experience as a player or youth official helps, but is no guarantee nor is it required to become a qualified official.

Certification

To be certified to officiate CIF sanctioned sporting events, you must:

Attend 80% of scheduled classes (6-10, depending on the sport)
Score 80% (70% for first-year officials) in a rules knowledge exam.

Benefits

The rewards are great.

Flexible Assignments
Extra Income
