Congratulations on your interest in becoming a
registered OHSAA official. Before you embark on this great opportunity you must be
sure that you are able to commit many hours of study and physical conditioning in order to
become a competent official.
Below is a list of certified officiating instructors
whom you should contact in order to enroll in an officiating class.
Instructors are listed in order by city. Please locate an instructor that lives closest to you and contact
the instructor to obtain a class schedule, enroll and to have any questions you may have
answered.
The class requirements include
approximately 25 hours of training during which you will be required to complete two hours
of written exams as well as four hours of practical officiating experience. The
objective of the class is to provide each official with the ability to officiate 7th-8th,
9th and reserve level contests. It is our hope that as each prospective official
completes the OHSAA officiating training class, the new official will feel comfortable and
confident as they enter their officiating avocation.
Again I wish to congratulate you on
your interest in officiating and hope that you follow through and become an OHSAA sports
official.
Henry Zaborniak, Jr., Assistant
