News release from the OSAA. The Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) and the Oregon Athletic Officials Association (OAOA) have reached a crisis point in not having enough high school officials in all sports statewide. In the last five years, the number of officials has decreased 16% while the number of contests needing officials has increased. The result is the OSAA and OAOA are starting to see games canceled, especially at the sub-varsity levels. Both organizations are making officials retention and recruitment a priority and are exploring all areas in promoting the issue. If you are interested in officiating, contact a local high school’s athletic director for more information.
