It's not a requirement as a official, but you understand things better as having been on both sides of the fence. I've even had the interest in coaching too, mainly in XC, Track, & Basketball. I assist some w/ the XC team from time to time as well.
I will point out that just because you're a former player does not mean you'll be a better official for it. Just because you played the game also doesn't mean you know the rules. Players think they know the rules, but as an official you have got to KNOW the rules...inside and out, backwards and forwards. It is in this aspect that being a former player can hurt an aspiring official because they'll skip section of the rule book they THINK they know.
