Sports officials for league assignments

See tutors and book

Prices are set by each independent tutor and shown before you pay.

#3 Do it yourself

Fill the game from your own network first

  1. Post the game details in your league group chat and ask coaches for a neutral volunteer.
  2. Check whether the league allows a coach or parent to cover rec games, and what the safety rules are.
  3. Call the officials who worked your last 2 games.
  4. Post the game on the marketplace with the pay offered.
  5. If nobody is found 24 hours out, tell both teams and offer a reschedule.

Safety: Do not start a contact game with no neutral official.

Stop and call a pro if: Playing without a qualified official would be unsafe or breaks league rules; reschedule instead.
