I am looking for information about becoming an official in Hawaii. I will be there on a business trip that will have me in Hawaii during thid season. I will be in the Honolulu area. If anyone is on this board that can help me please do. I do not want to be sitting on the sidelines this year.

Aloha Dark Ref!

Welcome to Hawaii! I don't have the numbers of the Oahu associations but I will try to locate them for you.

We have a very good association here on Maui. There are 6 high schools in our league (they play a 10 game season, plus preseason and play-off games) and we do the Pop Warner and semi-pro leagues. We use 6 man mechanics (FJ and SJ).

On Oahu I understand the ILH (private school league) also uses 6 man. The OIA (public school league) uses 5 man. Both associations have good officials but I believe the OIA is more short-handed due to the number of public schools on the island.

Hope you will consider possibly flying over to Maui and joining our group. Our first meeting is Tuesday, July 9th at 6pm.
