Fellow Officials

This is a mass email to all ACTIVE officials according my MY RECORDS.  As of 08/20, the KHSAA Board of Control voted to move forward with fall sports.  This however goes in conjuction with getting final plans approved by the Kentucky Department of Education as well as the Governor of which we have heard that they will move forward with the plans that the KHSAA has submitted.  This then falls on the local school districts to determine their path moving foward, so there are still a few hurdles to cross over but the outlook is a little more promising.  Therefore, if you have not registered with the KHSAA, please get that done quickly.  If you  have not registered and paid your NKSOA dues, I would also encourage that you get that taken care of as well.

We have received the following information from Butch Cope
Please note that the NFHS Part 2 Exams for licensed officials in the sports of Football, Field Hockey, Soccer, and Volleyball are now available online. The Part 2 exams, required for postseason eligibility consideration, will be open until Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 11:59 p.m. (ET).  

The tests will automatically close on Sept. 8 at 11:59 p.m. (ET). Login at https://officials.khsaa.org/authorize/ to take the test. A minimum score of 80 on the exam is required to be considered for assignment to officiate postseason play.  The exam is also used for advancements in levels of classification.

We have recieved the following informaton from Chad Collins
The mandatory Online Rules Clinic for the sport of Soccer is now available. The clinic is required of all officials as well as all coaches for all levels including varsity, junior varsity, and freshman levels, and whether or not the coach receives pay.

FOR DETAILS ON THIS ANNOUNCEMENT INCLUDING APPLICABLE DEADLINES, SEE THE POST AT https://khsaa.org/8-18-20-soccer-online-rules-clinic-for-coaches-and-officials-now-available/.

All of you should have received these emails directly from both of them so please “Take Care of your Business” and get these completed as well.  I know some are doubtful that we actually will have a season and that paying KHSAA or NKSOA dues does not seem appropriate at this time however let me encourage you to move forward with both of those functions so that there are no issues when/if the season does begin, we simply want to be ready.

We hope all of you are staying healthy with your family and friends and we look forward to seeing you on the field soon.  If there is anything you need, please do not hesitate reaching out to me to discuss.

Yours in Athletics
