Football Officials Needed-Illinois High Schools

Coaches and Athletic Directors are encountering much difficulty in securing officials for Football Games. Many games are being moved to alternate dates, thus disrupting the organization of high school teams. Their is definitely a need for interested parties to become involved as a high school football official. This a great way to stay involved in high school sports and work with young people. Encourage young people interested in football to pursue this avocation, or at least visit with some veteran official about the benefits of this involvement. Who knows where it could lead them!! Contact the IHSA 309-663-6377

ILLINOIS COACHES ASSOCIATION has a brochure outlining benefits of membership and activities available through membership. Contact the ICA Office and we will send you an ample amount for your coaches.
