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.
