New Officials and Training
Stay close to the game you love. Become a member of the “third team” on the field by becoming a football official this season!
All that is required to get started is a positive attitude and the ability to keep up with the play. You will be constantly on your feet. A wide vision of the playing field is a must. Quick reactions and speed are advantages. As the football players’ ages increase and the competitive levels increase, the physical demands will also increase.
You will start with in-class instruction during the summer and progress to monitored on-field training. During the season, you will attend association meetings with your fellow officials to continuously learn the rules of football. You will also review your progress on video as this is a key component to your growth.
You’ll be officiating youth and sub-varsity high school games in your first year in the Colonial Football Officials Association.
All youth games are played on Friday-Sunday and are in the Fairfield County, CT area. Sub-Varsity games are played Monday-Thursday afternoons and cover the CT Southwest Conference Schools- to include 2019 State Champion Newtown Nighthawks.
Our association offers classroom and on field instruction. Classes will start in July 2021.
Prospective officials must complete the CFOA Application, CIAC Insurance Waiver and the CIAC Background Check Consent form. All forms can be downloaded by clicking on the links below. These forms will need to be turned in at the first training session along with a check for $35 payable to the CFOA. This fee will be used to pay for your training materials and CIAC Background Check
Additionally, association dues of $95 will be payable in October upon the successful completion of the written exam.
The CFOA membership fee includes insurance, training materials, NFHS rule book, CIAC membership and the CFOA banquet.
