Join Us

Ask yourself these questions:

• Do you have a true passion for football?
• When watching college and professional football, do you find yourself breaking down referee calls on the field?
• Do you watch the referees and their positioning more than the players when watching football games in person?
• Are you able to watch a game objectively without rooting interests?
• Are you committed to do whatever it takes to become a football referee and help make a difference in New Jersey high school football officiating?

If you answered YES to any of these questions - you obviously came here for a reason, and that is to become a proud future member of the NJFOA-North.

In order to join our organization via the either of these training programs, you must be able to commit to and meet 100% of the requirements set forth for the Edgar Cartotto Referee Training Program.
