To: Local Community Adults (Men, Women and High School Age Students) From: NIOA (North Iowa Officials Association) Subject: Junior High / High School Sports Officials Needed Now
Hello! Junior High and High School sporting events (baseball, softball, football, volleyball, basketball, wrestling and track) in North Central Iowa are in dire need of sports officials right now and in the future, starting with the 2022 baseball and softball seasons. This includes Junior High, Freshman and Junior Varsity/Varsity events in your local community.
The NIOA (North Iowa Officials Association) is asking that you consider becoming a sports official, whether inside your community or the surrounding North Central Iowa area. Now would be the time to give some serious thought about becoming a sports official because scheduled contests in your community or surrounding communities will not be played if there are no available officials to officiate these contests. That may be the case starting with the 2022 baseball/softball seasons.
If you are interested in becoming a sports official, whether it is in only one sport or multiple sports, that would be a great start to your officiating future. To get started, you can contact your local Athletic Director, who in turn will contact one of the NIOA contest assignor’s listed below, or you are welcome to contact one of the NIOA assignor’s directly. The NIOA also has a website (northiowaofficialsassociation.weebly.com) that you can visit for any further information about officiating and contacts.
Thank you from the NIOA for your consideration in becoming a sports official. The NIOA needs you and will welcome you with open arms into the officiating profession! Also, the young adults in all our schools will welcome you because they need your support and help with this very serious issue.
