Officiating takes away time that could be spent with family or doing other worthwhile activities, but we gladly make these sacrifices to be a part of football. Coaches realize that they could not play the game without officials, and officials realize that without coaches there would not be a game to officiate. It is a relationship built on mutual respect because neither could exist without the other. Coaches and players put in many hours of preparation for the game. They deserve the very best that we have to offer.
Officials are professionals.
We should dress professionally before, during, and after the game, behave in a professional manner, and demonstrate not only knowledge of the rules, but also the proper application of the rules. By doing these things we can do our part to ensure that every football game is an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Good Luck and have a great season.
