Tomball Memorial High School – Team Sport Officiating

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

Students enrolled in Team Sport Officiating learn rules and regulations of selected team sports, developing skills in communication, decision making, and conflict management which are needed to officiate team sport competitions. Working with coaches, players, other officials, and parents, the expectation is that by the end of the course students will have the ability to officiate at various levels and manage responsibilities that come with the role. Students will be introduced to the rules of the games and officiating mechanics based on approved University Interscholastic League (UIL) association specifications which will form a foundation for a lifetime advocation in officiating. Experienced officials will assist in providing “real-world” experiences in preparing the students for the situations they will face. Students will also develop a personal fitness plan and safety plan that directly relates to the needs of an official. Students apply time management skills and adhere to professional responsibilities and standards including the Sports Officials Code of Ethics and the legal rights and responsibilities of a sports official involved with youth sports in the 21st century.
