Fall Officials,

We hope this email finds you doing well.  Our office has been in constant conversation during these unprecedented times and the information we have been gathering changes quite often.  With that being said, we have decided to delay the opening of Fall registration for officials until we have a better understanding of what the Fall sports season will look like.  We are also working with each State Rules Interpreter (SRI) to create our own sport-specific test (only 50 questions, as opposed to the 100 previously). 

The new opening date for Fall Officials’ registration will be Monday, July 13, 2020.

For now, the only date we are adjusting is the registration opening.  All other dates, including the Commissioners’ Rules Clinics (Volleyball on August 3; Football & Soccer on August 7), will stay the same.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we get everything in place for the Fall season.

Take care and be well,

OSAA Staff
