State Testing Requirements

[Mike Simonds]

Last year we took the NFHS Part I in last week of August to get qualified for the state play-offs. Must have 80 or higher to be considered. (70 or higher for veterans of 10 or more seasons; lol, guess they factor in decreasing mental capacity due to age, etc. or something). Then they send out an observer during the season to check mechanics, etc.

Our local association does not have any requirements for working high school varsity. Its mainly based on experience and "field" knowledge. "Book" knowledge is not really factored in unless they are putting you in the referee position.
