The Northern Kentucky Officials Association covers all high school, middle school, and youth football games in 11 counties in Northern Kentucky (Boone, Kenton, Campbell, Gallatin, Grant, Pendleton, Bracken, Carroll, Owen, Trimble, Henry).
Officiating is the best way to stay involved in the game. As an official you are on the field, instead of watching from the sidelines.
Officiating gets you out of the house two or three times a week to participate in an enjoyable and rewarding physical activity.
A tremendous bond is developed between officials that can only be fully explained after you've experienced it.
Officiating builds skills in resolving conflicts, making instantaneous decisions, and dealing with stress and pressure.
Unlike most other hobbies today, the time spent officiating football will put some money back in your pocket.
Officiating provides a unique opportunity to guide our youth by enforcing the concepts of fair play and good sportsmanship.

As with the Association fees and state licensing fee; the uniform costs can be recovered after just one weekend of calling games. Most officials will initially spend in the $100 to $200 range for a shirt, hat, shorts, shoes, flags, bags, and whistles.
