Notice to Officials for Changes for 2023-24 Licensing
Thank you for your interest in licensing as a sports official. We shared earlier in the year with the local Assigners that the Association is working towards moving licensing, clinics, etc. that would be executed through the Arbiter system.
We are currently engaged in this process and therefore the renewal process for fall sports for 2023-2024 is suspended through the completion of that process. Once we have completed the transition a notification will be sent out alerting you to license or relicense at that time.
If you are a new official and would like to provide contact information so that we may alert you when the system is open, please do so using this link: Link to provide contact info for new officials.
We appreciate your continued efforts as an official as well as your patience during this transitional time. This move should help consolidate things for you in the […]
