I love football but the time commitment for training, or my physical capabilities, limit my ability to officiate on the field, can I still be involved in officiating?
Absolutely. If this is the case, consider joining the NVFOA as an Electronic Clock Operator (ECO). Electronic Clock Operators are a key member of the officiating crew. Having a knowledgeable and reliable ECO takes a huge burden off of the officiating crew and allows the on-field officials to fully concentrate on the game without having to constantly check to make sure the clock is being worked correctly. If you love the game and want to stay involved, please consider working for the NVFOA as a dedicated Electronic Clock Operator. You can also consider becoming an official for any one of the numerous recreation and youth leagues in your area. The time commitment for games and training for officials in these leagues is generally much less than for someone who desires to work at the high school level.
