Been looking for a part-time gig for a while and have been debating on applying to be a Ref for the last few years so i just sent in the initial very brief application into the NCHSAA earlier this morning and they said i would be contacted within a few days with further instructions and information.

just curious what the process was like if anyone on IPS has Ref for them.

thanks in advance

Not a ref, but it looks like you may be hired sooner than later....

There's a definite shortage of refs right now in the NCHSAA.

mdreid, is this going to be worth it to you? I have no clue, but what is the "average" pay for a high school referee? Any idea? Note - before this pay renegotiation.

this is just a side gig for some extra cash, having a career with a municipality its hard to find a part/time job that will hire you,

pay will be prob be low at first but its better than nothing and it helps youth sports

Sincerely wish you good luck with that. But my snarky side says "hope you love parents!" Lol

I did it in Va not NC. It was a lot of fun but the money wasn't great. Used it to buy a new rifle every year.

Be prepared to have your life threatened. Happened at all levels (youth, JV and Varsity). People are stupid.

well it's easy to get hired as a ref, well because there's no hiring process

The hiring process in brief summation is click a link, sign up on dragonfly, which is how they assign games and pay you. watch a concussion video and take a test and select which sports you want to do and wait till that respective person eventually emails you, or do what i did and email them first because im not waiting around.

FEES, damn is being a ref expensive. 30 bucks for your background check, had to pay 80 bucks for baseball/softball organization dues. wanted to do lacrosse also but that would of been 75 bucks plus an entire different set of uniforms

Speaking of uniforms, need all black shoes, 1 black shirt, 1 blue shirt, heather pants and black belt...that was roughly 200 bucks.

So im around 300 bucks in and i dont even know when ill see my first game lol, now i know why there's a shortage

Im pretty confident ill see my fair share of games this season, we had our first meeting yesterday and for the Central/Piedmont region we only had maybe 40ish guys to show up for baseball and softball
