The WTFL is always looking for people interested in being an official whether you have experience reffing or not!
We will be offering a FREE official's clinic again this year for people who are interested in becoming a certified official. To be an official in the WTFL you must have at least the Level 1 (head linesman) clinic completed. The clinic date and location will be announced soon.
How much can you make?
· $21/game - Head Linesman (Sideline Official)
· $27/game - Back Judge
· $32/game - Head Official
Generally you would ref 2 games in one night so you can make anywhere from $42 - $64 a night for a couple of hours of service. Not a bad way to make a couple of extra bucks and get some extra exercise.
We also offer a bonus scale depending on number of games completed during the season so you can make up to $5 more per game. Please see the 2009 season menu on the left for more information.
Lets do some math, because I can tell you're interested. Say you work 5 nights a month (1 a week or so) doing Back Judge assignments. That works out to $270. Do that from May-Sept and you're talking about $1350.
What could you do with $1350?
-You could be a good buddy and pay for your team's registration next year yourself (not likely)
-You could buy new football cleats for the next 10+ years.
-You could by a pretty decent amount of your favourite beverage.
-You could probably book a trip to vegas or mexico next winter.
-I'm sure you get the point.
Certification lasts forever, so do it once and you are set. Stay tuned for the date and location of the 2009 clinic. Questions? Post them here!

The mandatory clinic last year was the standard level 1 clinic that everybody does. So if you did that, you are level 1 and it lasts forever.
I would imagine that we would be offering level 1,2,3 sessions this year like we did last year, so if you are interested in upgrading to a level 2 or 3 it should be possible as well. Once we have the date finalized I'll post all the info.

Thanks to all our new referees who came out this weekend and took the level 1 and 2 courses! I hope you enjoyed it and learned a few things.
Thanks also to Darrell Mazur who put on another top notch clinic.
If you were at the clinic and want to be on the referee email list (you will if you want to take games), please send me an email at marc@wtfl.ca.
The draft is tomorrow for head refs and wednesday for BJ and HL.
