In order to become a licensed IHSAA wrestling official you can follow this link for details on the process. http://www.ihsaa.org/Officials/Licensing/tabid/572/Default.aspx ******************************************************************************************** Specific points about the On-Line Testing Process that you need to know: - The testing process is an on-line application. No longer do you need to plan to be at a site on a certain day. You do need to have access to a computer to take the test. You will need to plan when to take the test within the Testing Period indicated for each sport and submit your results before the deadline. This is not a timed test. - No on-site paper and pencil tests will be provided unless you are taking a class in that sport. - Application Deadlines must be met. - The test is composed of 100 questions, mostly True-False, but a few multiple choice. You must earn 75% or better on the test to become licensed. - You should receive your rules books from IHSAA as soon as they are published and available by the NFHS. If you are testing in more than one sport, the books for the later seasons will be sent when those books arrive in the IHSAA office. Please begin to study for the test upon receipt of the rules books. - You may only take a test one time within a program year. If you do not meet the 75% standard this program year, you will need to wait until the next program year to apply again. - You should not apply to take a test in any sport whose deadline dates have passed. - You should receive immediate feedback on your test results but you may not schedule contests until you receive the insignias and license card from this office which should come within 7-10 days after your test is submitted (and you have scored 75% or better). **********************************************************************************************
Remember, you do not have to be licensed to officiate middle school events or elementary events, and this is a great venue to work and gain experience, especially for those of you who are unsure as to whether or not you actually want to proceed to the high school level. It's a perfect part-time job... especially for a college student. It's a 100 question test that is open book and done online, so you are allowed ample time to complete the examination with little or no stress. Also keep in mind that nearly all officials begin at lower levels and work their way up, so you will not be thrust into the high profile varsity contest with 3000 screaming fans in the stands. If you like the sport and are physically able, becoming an official is a great hobby that pays well, gets you in the door for free, and gives you the best seat in the house!
