Referee Job Finding WebSite

[JRutledge]

We have assignors that do the job of finding and hiring officials. That is what the camps are for. Assignors are not hiring people at the varsity level unless they have seen you work. They might at the lower level, but if they have seen you it is much easier to get a game.

Like Tony said, in the area where I began officiating, the schools hired the officials on their own. Most of the time it would be the AD. They did not hire you unless they saw you or you worked one of their games on the road. They might ask you to work a tournament or some kind of shootout. But despite what many think, they did not just hire anyone. You have to be good or at least considered pretty good to get the bigger games.

It might help at first to make a couple of contacts, but not enough that would be worth anyone paying money to join. That is what official's associations are for.
