If you sit in the stands or sit on the couch, here's your chance to stand up and stand out. Make a decision and make a difference. Much like the Army, officiating is a job, it can be an adventure and it may be for you. If you are a former athlete and want to stay with the game or never played the game and want to get involved, officiating may be for you. Officiating offers individuals an opportunity to stay mentally sharp, physically fit and offers surprising financial rewards.
Contests normally last anywhere from one to three hours, so the hourly pay is rewarding.
If your availability is good, you can work anywhere from one to six days per week. You don't have to work every day. You set your schedule. Weekday games normally start between 4-7 p.m. and Saturday games range from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Each sport offers a clinic. Candidates must pass a written test, then a court or field test before becoming an accredited official.
