JOIN THE MHSAA
Join the MHSAA as an official today!
It is a great time to become a MHSAA official. All tournaments ask for MHSAA officials first and working MHSAA games will prepare you to officiate any level of travel ball.
For those that are already MHSAA officials, renewing your membership is now open here. Also I'd be happy to share any training opportunities that you come across or organize with my list of youth officials.
Juniors and seniors in HS are eligible to become MHSAA officials and are paid at the same rate as their adult counterparts. High school 9th graders and 10th graders can also register with MHSAA, which gives you a rulebook and access to online rules meetings and gets your name on the radars of some assigners, though 9th and 10th graders are only eligible to work middle school games. These are oftentimes assigned directly by the school or a different local assigner.
Those in high school who join MHSAA must join as a "Legacy Official" and have a "mentor official" who has done MHSAA before. If you are interested in joining, please let me know and I'd be happy to help connect you to a mentor official.
Local HS Assigners - After joining MHSAA, you'll need to get in touch with a local assigner / association. These folks work with HS across the state to provide MHSAA certified officials for all HS games. If you'll be living somewhere else in 2024 besides West Michigan, please reach out and I'll be happy to share contact info for nearby assigners.
