Oklahoma State Officials Association

The Oklahoma State Officials Association Club plays a vital role in ensuring that schools have access to qualified referees, umpires, and judges for their sports programs. These opportunities are crucial for students, as participation in organized sports teaches teamwork, discipline, and leadership. However, many schools face challenges securing quality officiating due to financial and location constraints. By supporting the OSOAClub through donations, we can help provide schools—especially those in local, underfunded districts—with the officiating services they need to offer consistent, fair, and fun sporting experiences for the students.

Your donations help cover the costs of training, certification, and the development of new officials. This funding is essential to maintaining a pipeline of qualified professionals who can officiate games at all levels. Additionally, the club often supports schools by reducing or subsidizing officiating fees, ensuring that budget limitations do not prevent students from enjoying competitive sports. By contributing, you are directly helping to expand opportunities for young athletes to participate in well-organized and safe events.

In the long run, your donations also support the growth of officiating as a profession. With better funding, we can increase outreach, attract new officials, and ensure they are adequately trained to handle the ever-evolving demands of modern sports. Your generosity ensures that schools can continue to offer extracurricular programs that enrich students' lives, while also promoting the development of officiating careers.

Thank you and Go Pokes!
