South Mississippi looking to add more high school officials
SUMMARY: With the high school football season a month away, the Gulf Coast Football Officials Association (GCFOA) is addressing the critical shortage of referees. Troy Soa from the association shared that they have expanded recruitment efforts using social media and outreach to schools, encouraging former players to officiate. Despite last year’s struggles with coverage, they increased their officials from 105 to 125. However, 40% of the current officials are nearing retirement, prompting a need for new recruits. Training begins in June, with several clinics scheduled. Interested individuals can reach out via their Facebook page, GCFOA Mississippi, for more information.
We’re a month away from the start of high school football season, but will there be enough referees to suit up?
