Your Key to Becoming a Professional Sports Official
Become a Referee is your gateway to becoming a professional sports official. For those who have a passion for sports and want to make a difference on the field, court, or rink, this is the place for you.
When it comes to choosing a sport to officiate, the options are vast. Whether you prefer the thrill of outdoor sports like baseball and lacrosse, the fast-paced action of indoor sports like basketball and ice hockey, or the constant motion of soccer and field hockey, there is a sport to match your skills and interests. Each sport presents its own unique challenges, and officiating them offers a rewarding opportunity to be a part of the game.
Demand for Officials
Season after season, a new sport awaits you. As the calendar changes, so does the chance to referee a different sport. In the fall, football and field hockey take the spotlight. Winter brings a swarm of basketball enthusiasts, and spring calls for baseball umpires and lacrosse officials. With a range of sports to choose from, you’ll never be bored as a sports official.
Here’s the best part—you don’t need to have played the game to become an official. Many successful officials have excelled in sports they never played competitively. In fact, underappreciated sports like field hockey and volleyball are in dire need of officials because they aren’t as widely played. This scarcity of officials means greater opportunities for advancement.
Achieving the varsity level in less popular sports can often take half the time compared to heavily officiated sports like basketball. Higher levels come with higher fees, making officiating multiple sports a wise career choice.
