40 Reasons to Become An Official
 

The Game Needs You

There’s a national shortage of sports officials, and the need is urgent. Former athletes — especially those from Division III — have the knowledge, drive, and experience to step in and lead the next generation. Officiating is a powerful way to stay connected to the game while making a real impact.

 

Stay Active, Lead Strong

Officiating offers more than just a paycheck — it sharpens your leadership, communication, and decision-making skills while keeping you at the heart of the action. For former athletes, it’s a natural next step. You’ve trained, competed, and committed to your sport — now you can carry that experience forward. Your time on the field doesn’t have to end.
