How to get started in officiating HS Football?
I've been officiating a bunch of sports including flag football at the Intramural level for about 5 years now, and I'd like to move to a higher level (and the pay has to be better than $10 an hour). So how would I get into officiating middle school/high school football this upcoming fall? I'm currently living in North Carolina; are there any state organizations that I should contact for more information? I saw that there are annually meeting sessions, but what should I do to prepare for them? Any suggestions on how to make the transition from flag to tackle? Thanks in advance for all your advice.

Ask around at local schools coaches and AD's. Search the net. Good luck and make sure you keep everything in front of you.

I would recommend starting with the Regional Supervisor in your area and proceed from there ... the Regional Supervisor can help you with the NCHSAA Registration The following links should give you the "Football Regional Supervisors" as well as the NCHSAA "New Officials Information."

The annual meetings are the state clinic scheduled in each region over a two week period in July. The state supervisor comes in and goes over the rule changes and shows a video of high/lowlights sent to his office. There is nothing really to prepare for. Registration will crank up in May-June with the rule books coming out in late June-early July. The RSO for your area can clue you in to the local meetings which is what you will really need to attend. Be prepared to work 3 scrimmages in August. Most areas require a couple of seasons of youth, middle school, and JV before you will work Friday nights. Order you a Reddings NFHS study guide from Double S Distributors. They should be out in May. Best single resource for studying rules, IMO. Last edited by HLin NC; Mon Feb 18, 2013 at 02:52pm. |

I am pretty sure there were only 8, splitting North State gives us 9.

I thought there were 9 at one time as well but I could be wrong. The website is down, so I can't look at the moment. I recall:
Southeastern, East Carolina, Coastal Carolina, Triangle, North State, Inner Piedmont, Metrolina, Piedmont, Southwestern. Did I miss one?

I'm now thinking that it was basketball that previously had 9 associations.
