Referees
Why Officiate?
Extra Income
Officiating also allows you to supplement your income with a few extra dollars. Officials at all levels of competition are paid for working games.
Stay Fit
Exercise while having fun and travelling across Canada to officiate tournaments. Schedules are flexible and you can work across the province and country!
Learn a New Sport
If you have officiated other sports, you can easily transfer those experiences to the fastest game on two feet. There are many development opportunities including officiating at National Championships.
Give Back to the Game
Stay actively involved in the game, while developing friendships and connections with others committed to the game. Share your knowledge to help grow the game effectively. You will develop your knowledge and perspective of the game.
