I would be willing to share some ideas and caveats.
#1 contact league directors to offer services
contact tournament directors
#2 form/organize a group of at least a dozen officials
stress service and professionalism
#3 register a business with good name
protect your business with a contract
conceive a logo for jersey and jacket
#4 acquire liability/accident insurance
#5 construct business guidelines & policies
#6 construct a training manual
conduct a clinic
Build the business but watch your backside.
Consider multiple sports.
Consider private schools.
OK to run your own leagues.
Advertise (free public service announcements)in local
newspapers, websites, radio, TV
I can be reached at
[email protected] if you want
to discuss your venture further.
Good luck,
Barry Alman
