WHAT ARE THE EXPECTATIONS FOR A GRIDIRON FOOTBALL OFFICIAL?
-
At Gridiron Football safety is our highest concern.
-
All of our playing formats are either flag or touch football. Tackling is not allowed in our organization.
-
Your primary concern is to oversee the game in a safe and impartial manner.
-
We strongly believe in the concept of “preventative officiating”.
Preventative officiating is when officials guide, inform and encourage players to play within the rules and to avoid penalties that slow the game and create a punitive environment.
-
We are not there to punish players. We are there to help create a safe, fair and superior football experience.
-
We expect you to know the rules, be reliable, be mature, do your best and learn continuously.
-
To be successful you have to be self-motivated. You have to take the time to read, watch videos, observe senior officials and be open to the feedback we give you.
-
Being an official is a position of authority and respect that is earned and much more than just a striped shirt. We expect you to take it seriously.
