Officials Associations

If you are thinking of becoming an official in New Jersey, please see the steps outlined below.

  1. You must become affiliated with an official’s chapter for each sport you are interested in. Please contact one of the Chapters located in your area from the list below.    Click the provided link to the individual chapter's website.   You will find information on cadet training, required classes, evaluation and testing, chapter fees, etc. 
  2. Once you are affiliated with the chapter, you must register with the NJSIAA. Your new chapter will provide you with information on how to register with us.

Good luck and hope to see you at the games.
