#2 Book a tutor

Sports officials for league assignments

The marketplace keeps the booking record so repeat no-shows by an independent official can be reviewed.

See tutors and book

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

#3 Do it yourself

Handle the day and document it

  1. Message and call the official at the contact on the booking.
  2. Ask both coaches if there is a qualified neutral volunteer and whether league rules allow it.
  3. If no official arrives within the time in your league rules, decide on reschedule with both coaches.
  4. Write down the time, who you contacted and what happened.
  5. Report the no-show to the marketplace afterward.

Safety: Do not let a coach officiate their own game in a contact sport.

Stop and call a pro if: Anyone suggests playing a contact game without a qualified neutral official.
