Roles
Officials are often asked, "How did you get started with officiating?" In most cases, the answer lies within. The journey to football officiating begins with a passion for the game. When fond football memories are shared and that passion is prevalent, a person close to the game - usually a working football official - encourages that final step toward football officiating.
