Welcome to the NJFOA-Central Jersey Chapter
The NJFOA (New Jersey Football Officials Association) is a organization dedicated to serving the central New Jersey area with High School football officials.
Why Become a Football Official?
Ask yourself these questions:
-
Do you have a true passion for football?
-
When watching college and professional football, do you find yourself breaking down referee calls on the field?
-
Do you watch the referees and their positioning more than the players when watching football games in person?
-
Are you able to watch a game objectively without rooting interests?
-
Are you committed to do whatever it takes to become a football referee and help make a difference in New Jersey high school football officiating?
If you answered YES to any of these questions - you obviously came here for a reason, and that is to become a proud future member of the NJFOA-Central.
