Sports Officials Needed

Across Colorado, there is a critical shortage of high school sports officials for almost every sport. In some communities, high school games are being postponed or cancelled.

High school officials protect the integrity of the games our athletes enjoy playing by demonstrating qualities like honesty, objectivity, consistency, courage, and common sense. As veteran officials continue to retire, new officials have an opportunity to make a huge difference in the lives of northern Colorado athletes!

Consider the many benefits of becoming a high school sports official. You will:

Serve as a role model for the youth in our community.
Have many opportunities to stay in good physical condition.
Earn extra income where the hours are flexible.
Expand your network of friends and have fun.

If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a high school official, please complete the Potential Sport Official Form. Please list up to 3 names and emails of individuals who may be interested in officiating one or more of the sports you are interested in officiating. Your information will be passed along to the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) as well as the Northern Colorado Sports Officials. Once your application is processed, you will have the opportunity to choose the games you want to officiate. For more information about officiating in Colorado, please check out the CHSAA Officials Center.

Out-of-Season Athletic Programming

Windsor Charter Academy recognizes the impact athletics has on the social-emotional well- being of our student-athletes. Due to COVID-19, there have been significant adjustments to the high school sports calendar for this school year. WCA has developed a set of Out-of-Season Athletic Program Guidelines to guide coaches, athletes, and parents on what to expect for off-season activities for the remainder of the school year. Off-season training can begin the week of September 8th. More information for each sport can be found on the WCA Athletics website.

In accordance with the WCA COVID-19 Return-to-Play Guidelines, student-athletes will remain with a single cohort for the duration of the event to minimize the number of students and staff that must quarantine if a case is confirmed. Though off-season and pre-season training opportunities are optional, hybrid learning cohorts will be scheduled according to their assigned A or B academic groupings.

If your student is interested in participating in our high school off-seasons athletic programming, please complete and submit this registration form.
