BECOMING A FOOTBALL OFFICIAL


Anyone interested in officiating football is invited to attend a new members meeting at the
TJC West Campus in Tyler on July 21st starting at 6PM.
This will be an informational meeting designed to provide you with answers to all the questions you may have about officiating football. We look forward to seeing you there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All other meetings will be held at LANES CHAPEL METHODIST CHURCH on July 28th starting at 6PM.
Lanes Chapel is located 3 miles south of Loop 323 on Old Jacksonville Hwy.
The address is 8720 Old Jacksonville Hwy. The Church is located on the left going south from the loop.


The information on this page is given as an outline of what is required and expected from all members of the Tyler Lone Star Chapter of the Texas Association of Sports Officials (TASO) and what the benefits of membership are. For full details on joining please contact our Chapter President; Kyle Rutherford at (903) 903-521-0377 or any member listed on the Contact Page.

The first step in becoming a high school football official is to join a local Chapter of the TASO. If you need information about Chapters other than the Tyler Lone Star please let us know, and we will find a contact person for you in your area.  In joining the Chapter, there are several requirements you must fulfill.  Please contact us for details.  Our Chapter meetings are held Monday nights at Lanes Chapel Methodist Church.
Starting in late July, our meetings continue through football season and conclude for the year with our annual dinner in early November. In addition to our Chapter meetings there are several District and Regional Workshops given each year.  Attending meetings and learning the rules and mechanics are very important to becoming a good football official (especially since you will have to pass a Rules Test and Mechanics Test every year), but the best experience you can get is by experience. There is no thrill quite like walking onto that football field as an official for the first time.
