The licensing period for the current 2018-19 season will begin in early September Although many of the dates may already be filled, there are always schools that reschedule events, add new events and/or are late to get their officials. There are also many cancellations or conflicts that pop up during the season, so there are always matches to be had. I suggest getting your license ASAP and then hooking up with a senior official so that you can shadow them and get right in the mix. Never too late to get licensed!

5 pts..... 3NF + 1NF (for the infraction) and 1 penalty (for the infraction)

Hey Adam... I will email you with some info so you can get involved in your local official's associations and get rolling! Chuck Barnett, IHSAA Rules Interpreter

Congrats Coach! Perhaps we can coax you to the dark side and wearing the stripes now!
