The billion-dollar youth and high school sports industry around the country has been plagued by a referee shortage, with overbearing parents and coaches and time demands being examples of why many don’t want to be officials anymore.
As is the case with many around the country who love high school and youth sports, Kyle Armstrong saw no end in sight to the problem.
“We built a team of educators, professors, and sports officials across numerous sports and levels,” Armstrong said. “Not only did we build the curriculum with sports officiating in mind, but we had to take into account intricacies of all 50 states and Washington, D.C., We worked to combine tools and materials that would help students earn the skills and credentials needed to become immediately employable.
Schrauben said it’s simply about giving kids the basics of officiating, and if they have further interest, he tries to get them officiating jobs in the community at local youth games. “Many of those individuals pursue multiple sports, so the argument can be made that we’ve helped fill 30,000-40,000-plus positions around the country,” he said.
