A MODEL BUILT FOR SUCCESS

As written about in the Boston Herald, Taunton Public Schools in Massachusetts has changed the game by developing a model actively recruiting the next generation of sports officials.

Join us in Happy Valley to learn directly from the Taunton Team about how YOU can increase the pool of sports officials in your community.

The curriculum immerses students in the shoes of an official, fostering a new perspective on the importance of the profession.
