Performance Criteria
Does your association have a minimum level of physical performance officials must meet?
If so, what is it? |

We have had officials who have undergone serious medical prodcedure (such as bypass surgery) and they had to get a doctors release before the scheduler would put them back on the field.

I'm sure there are hundreds of medical procedures where people can continue to officiate post-procedure, but for incidents of a more serious nature, the recommendation from a doctor after the doctor's clear understanding of what's involved in officiating is the proper approach.

I'd also be VERY careful about setting any standards. You're setting yourself up for some real trouble in regards to employer/employee (versus independent contractor), discrimination, liability, etc. If you have a standard, and the standard is violated - you are liable. If there is no standard - you can't violate it.
Of course, there are some local associations that actually do serve as an employer, so that would probably be a different situation. |

One would hope officials at some point decide to "hang em up" on their own. Know some assigners give hints through assignments. Then there are those who don't get physicals, yet, find it more difficult to move up and down the field. Think the last thing any of us want to see is an official collapse and even worst collapse and die right on the field. |

Our association does not either. Two years ago I went to one of the trainers at my club, and aksed for their help in designing a training regimen for officials. She provided me with a list of exercises to perform, and even invited all members of our assocition to 1 of 4 training sessions at the club. Each member who showed was given a free 30 days pass. Only 8 of 90 shoed up. That was disappointing. I will get the files uploaded to a public site and share the link when I get a chance. They really are helpful.

Best thing to do is to have a release prepared by an attorney for things like this. That removes any issue I've brought up here and responded to. While you can still have lawsuits (and settlements), releases are well accepted instruments that avoid liability. |
