Accelerating advancement of sports officials
professionally and personally
Existing systems of developing officials and assisting in the advancement of qualified officials are antiquated and built for the ‘good Ol boy system’ and not true personal progression.
Our belief in creating a qualified official with a leadership mindset to help create more leaders. WeAreRefs helps every official feel supported. We encourage our leaders to become a coach, leading to consistent, whole personal and professional growth, all managed within one simple and intuitive place.
Mentally and physically healthy leaders create healthy crews to work out on the field of dreams for our next generation. We are committed to helping you see growth at every level.
We are driven to keep sports contest officials from all backgrounds engaged, leveraging their skill sets, and sharing their ideas, and provide a sense of belonging for all. We will work on continuous improvement plans for our members with Rule Study Groups; NFHS Field and Court Mechanics review; guidelines to meet Local Association Playoff Requirements.
As a leader, our legacy is measured in the success of your followers. Creating branches off this "officials" tree and affording the opportunity to all will always be our goal.
Development is a marathon, not a sprint. Define success then work toward it. Focus your effort on achieving it and know which “little things” matter.
Never settle for the status quo. Never measure yourself against someone else or another organization. If you genuinely want to be the very best you can be for your team, then you need to set the bar high and push them to greatness.
Our goal is to provide sports contest officials regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, gender, and sexual orientation an equal opportunity to advance themselves professionally and personally. We build authentic relationships with a community of peers who will also give back to support the next generation of young officials.
Preparation begins with knowing what you're preparing for. And working hard may not get you moving towards the goal if the "right" work is not being done. It is up to you to act in being prepared. Being prepared means being ready to take the first step when the time comes.
Each of us was a ROOKIE at some point. We are big on recruiting passionate people and believe the diversity of those recruits is paramount for overall growth of our craft.
This group is our core group. We created WeAreRefs for these officials that fall into this group. Experienced official just striving to be the best official he/she can be. This forum will allow you to get some "secret sauce" and seasoning to excel.
This group of officials will be on a guided path to the college camps and college conference affiliation. We have seasoned Professional and college officials that will provide support and feedback throughout your journey to the next level
