FACTS

"Recreational Sports, Junior Highschool Sports, and Highschool Sports are witnessing across all types of sports a decline in sports officials. Athletic directors in all three levels have seen a steadily declined in sports officials in the last twenty years. But since the COVID-19 Pandemic, the lack of sports officials has increased so rapidly that it could eventually become a nationwide crisis. The pandemic may have caused the decline of sports officials but it was not the only cause. The age of the sports officials has played a role in the decline of the sport’s officials. But the true main cause of losing sports officials has been the lack of respect for the sport’s officials through the behavior of players, coaches, family members, and sports fans." - Matthew J Williams D.S.M., M.B.A. M.S.-Dept. of Education, The University of Virginia.

Nationally, youth athletics faces a referee shortage. According to a recent NFHS survey of state high school athletic associations, about 50,000 people stopped officiating since the 2018-19 season, which was the last unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
