The Next Generation of Great Sports Officials-Built by You and RefReps
Thursday November 5, 2026 8:00am - 8:45am EST
Indiana Secondary Physical Education Teachers! Join over one hundred schools around Indiana and over a thousand nationwide that are offering sports officiating as an elective course or as a unit in classes you are already teaching. RefReps, the industry leader in web-based sports officiating education, offers your students an opportunity to see the game through the eyes of the officials. In addition to learning about the sport, how to adjudicate the rules, and how to properly demonstrate the positioning and mechanics of the game officials, students will also learn empathy for officials and development positive sportsmanship qualities in order to be a better and more informed fan of the game-whether they are playing, watching, or officiating themselves. As students complete any of our 16 sport course all aligned with NFHS rules, students have a pathway to state licensure which allows them to:

  • Work local contests
  • Earn money
  • Support their communities
  • Help games get played
  • Develop valuable employability skills
  • Maintain a healthy lifestyle during or after their own participation ends

Join us to hear more about how you can help build the next generation of great sports officials! To learn more, visit us at www.refreps.com.
