Referee Magazine – San Gabriel Valley

Our very own Mike Martinez and former SGVFOA member, Maurice Norrington, appear in the February 2027 issue of Referee!

Welcome!

Welcome to the official website of the SGVFOA. We are a CIF-accredited officials association with over 60 officials serving nearly 30 high schools in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles County, California.

We are always looking for new officials with or without officiating experience. Officiating is an exciting avocation that gets you involved in the great game of football. There’s no better seat in the house than being a football official on the field!

If you are a military veteran, you may be eligible to receive assistance with dues, insurance, and your uniform from Battlefields to Ballfields.

Many vets face an uphill battle when they return as they figure out how they will integrate back into society. This has become the impetus for Battlefields to Ballfields. The Foundation provides scholarships to veterans who return from defending our country with an opportunity to get integrated back into their community through officiating. We are proud supporters of our nation’s heroes!

Have you ever wondered, “What in the world those officials were looking at? Can’t they see that the quarterback was out of the pocket? How can they call that–the ball wasn’t even catchable!?” Have you ever thought, “I can do a better job than that!”? Well, join us! We’re always looking for new officials, with or without experience. It’s a great way to learn about high school football, get some exercise, meet new people, make a couple extra bucks, and have an incredible time!
