NEW to MHSAA Officiating?

officials It's easy to become a MHSAA Registered Official. The following steps will have you in the middle of the action in no time!

*Note: if you are under the age of 18, please visit the Legacy Student Officials Program page.  If you live outside of Michigan and wish to work games in our state, please consult the Reciprocal Official Information.  Both Legacy and Reciprocal officials must register by mail.
  1. Register online by following the button above. You will be given detailed registration instructions and can complete your registration in a matter of minutes.
  2. Once registered, you will receive an Officials ID Number and Login information and Sports Rules Books from the MHSAA. New Officials must take an Officials Guidebook Exam and complete a Mechanics Exam if registering for football and/or basketball.  The Exams are open-book, and may be taken online. These exams may be accessed by logging in to My MHSAA Officials Services using the Login tab found in the upper right corner on any page of the MHSAA Website. 
  3. The next step is to notify local officials leaders in your area that you are registered and looking for contests to work. They will be happy to hear from you! These contact persons and Registered Assignors for Local Approved Associations in your area can be found by following the link on the left-hand navigation bar.
  4. Only one more step is needed to work. You've got to get in gear with the proper attire and equipment. Here's a link to get you started.
