New Member Checklist

We’re thrilled to have you join us! Here are the steps you need to complete to get assigned:

  1. Register with the FHSAA: This enrolls you in the NFSOA mailing list.
  2. Pass a Criminal Background Check: Required by Florida state law.
  3. Attend an NFSOA Pre-season Meeting: You should attend one of the two general pre-season meetings AND the New Member meeting. Details will be emailed to you once the dates are set, and dates will be posted on the calendar.
  4. Set Up Arbiter Sports Account: If you registered with FHSAA, you’ve already done this.
  5. Set Up ArbiterPay and prepare for check payments. Ensure you have completed the steps to be ready for payment.
  6. Complete Referee Profile: Helps our assignor know where and when to assign you.
  7. Pass FHSAA Online Exam: Available in the FHSAA Officials Hub on Arbiter.
  8. Purchase Your Uniform and Gear: We generally use USSF uniforms. Click here for more.

Once these steps are done, you’ll be all set to start officiating. Looking forward to working together!
