FLAG FOOTBALL continues to show dramatic growth and is one of the fastest growing sports in North America and the world! This means that as the sport grows in popularity the greater the need for more and more officials. Becoming a referee is not only a great way to make money, it helps you stay active and provides a valuable service and mentorship to younger players enjoying all the benefits and fun of flag football!

Flag Officials are paid on a per game basis and can referee 2 one-hour games every evening(Spring season) or up to an entire day (up to 3 games per day during the Winter indoor season). With Spring Flag games scheduled 4 nights per week, our referees can earn several hundred dollars over the 6 or 7 week season.
