I encourage all to do it. It keeps you active. You have everything paid for by the end of the first month.

We need to increase our crews. It's not limited to being a guy. We have one female officiating.

It's a good thing to do. You don't have to have played football. Some of our better officials have never played football. We're always looking for good officials.

It's a pretty big area.

It's a whole lot easier to call games from the stands. It's a whole lot quicker on the field. People don't understand the rules in high school are a lot different than college or the pros.

We lose and gain about five officials in a year. Sometimes injuries occur, so the more the better.
