The NJSIAA provides the Officials Handbook for the benefit of all officials and member schools in our state.
To achieve officiating excellence an official must combine knowledge of the rules and of the game with proper mechanics and decision-making skills.
The official must also be in top physical condition in order to meet the rigorous physical and mental demands of such activities.
This handbook serves as a reminder to officials of their responsibilities to the student athletes and member schools and, in turn, the schools' responsibility to officials.
