Host School of the Year (School that treated our officials great at their site)
Player of the Year (excellent student-athlete who treats officials with respect)
Coach of the Year (Coach who treats our officials with respect while getting a lot out of his players)

The last 3 awards are voted on by members of our association.
The first 4 awards are chosen by the board. We have documented criteria for each award that is followed by the board.
The assignor's award is chosen by our assignor.

We also give out service pins for each 5 years of service starting at 10 years.

Thanks. A lot of solid ideas.

We also give out full scholarship for camp awards (6-8) to officials who have demonstrated the desire and impetus to get better. They can use it for our camp or apply it to any camp they choose.
Also, we give a sportsmanship award to the school who's teams demonstrated it the best that year.
