 How to Get Started |
|
1. Join the Officials Division of the KHSAA
All football officials must register and meet the licensing requirements with the Kentucky High School Athletics Association (KHSAA). No person can be assigned to officiate football games for the KFOA without first being registered with the KHSAA. To become registered with the KHSAA, you'll need to complete an application, pay a registration fee, join a local officials association (KFOA), and take an open-book rules test.
Payment of the registration fee to the KHSAA provides you with all rule books needed to officiate as well as a variety of other benefits.
The KFOA can provide you with all the necessary information for registering with the KHSAA including the KHSAA application and will prepare you to take the exam. However you are welcome to contact the KHSAA directly at (859) 299-5472 or you may also visit their web site http://www.khsaa.org for additional contact information.
The KHSAA mailing address is 2280 Executive Drive, Lexington, KY 40505
2. Become a member of the KFOA
Each official registered with the KHSAA must also belong to a local officials association. The KFOA is the local officials association serving the Metro Louisville area.
Requirements for membership include payment of annual dues and attendance at all regular KFOA meetings.
The KFOA is the organization ultimately responsible for training officials and providing football officials for local games. The KFOA generally holds two orientation sessions per year in June or July, then conducts weekly meetings from late July through October of each year.
Check the Calendar on this Web Site for the current list of meetings.
For more information email: Joel Fenwick - jfenwick@powercreative.com or Mark Wiedmar - markw@rightcallcom.com
It is important to attend one of the two new member orientation meetings in June/July (dates, time and location to be determined, please check the calendar for updates). You will be able to find out all you need to know about becoming an official at these meetings. Note that you will only need to attend one of the two as the same information will be presented at each meeting.
