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. Our class schedule is now ready 6PM-8PM on the following
dates:
