Training Meetings

In addition to the regular General Membership (GM) meetings during the season, you also have the opportunity to attend invaluable Training Sessions.  They are generally at 5:00pm, right before the GM meetings at 6:00pm.  First year, transfer and most second year officials are expected to attend.

Basic Equipment

  • Whistle & Lanyard (all black or all white)

  • White polo shirt; as you progress to refereeing varsity high school matches as an R1 or R2, you will be required to wear an official royal blue polo with the WOA logo 

  • Black slacks (not cotton)

  • Blue or black belt

  • All-black athletic shoes

  • Black socks (not anklets)

  • Net Chain

  • Ball Pump & Gauge

  • Yellow & Red Cards

  • Red Line Judge flags (optional)


As a new official, some of these items are not critical to begin with.  Ask the trainer what would be most important.

Items can be ordered online through Roof Sportswear.
 

Registered Officials

Once you have officially registered with Barb, she will forward your information to our Assigner Alan Hirayama and Assistant Assigner Heather Darrough.  They will set you up in a web-based game assignment program called “The Arbiter.”  You will be trained on how to use this program.
