Dear Prospective Football Official
You have likely come to this site because you have some interest or are just curious about officiating Section 3 Football.
Perhaps you could use the extra income, need some exercise, want to be part of a team or just "love the game" and want to be involved in helping the youth in our Central New York community. Whatever your motivation, if you are passionate about the game, we welcome you to apply to the Syracuse Chapter of New York State Certified Football Officials (NYSACFO). This Chapter provides officials for Boys' Tackle Football (Aug-Nov) and Girls' Flag Football (Mar-May).
This site contains information, training, and articles related to football officiating and training benefitting not only Section 3, but all jurisdictions using NFHS Rules and Mechanics.
