According to the USAOA By-Laws, officials must attend a minimum of 50% of sports-specific training sessions in which you are registered to be granted MIGS status. Therefore, officials should plan on attending a minimum of THREE (3) sessions. If we can schedule USAOA-approved training scrimmages, officials will be given a maximum of one session credit toward the required 3 credits necessary for MIGS status.

Our mission is to provide the best possible high school officials on the west side of the state of Michigan. We promote sportsmanship and professionalism at all times.

Our association is dedicated to high school sports on the west side of the state of Michigan. It is our goal to promote officiating, recruit new members interested in officiating, educate these officials, and train them to officiate at the highest possible level.
