I am curious as to why Officials do what they do. It is the money? Is it something you do for enjoyment? I got into it because I love to work with kids. I coached many sports with my two children as they grew up and I found that I wanted to continue working with kids.

I am finding out that I enjoy it and I want to continue to improve and do more and more games.

Why do you Officiate?

having been one who played every sport as a kid, and then being a coach for several years, I find that its a way to stay involved with sports and with the community.

Also, its a great second source of income. It takes a lot of work and money to become a good official, but to me its worth it in the end.

Thanks
