Kdun – Be the Difference that’s the call from the Southwestern Oregon Football Officials Association (SWOFOA) as it seeks new recruits for the upcoming high school and middle school football season on the South Coast. With kickoff just weeks away, the need for trained, passionate officials has never been greater. As student-athletes gear up for another fall under the lights, SWOFOA is making a strong push to ensure the games go on with fairness, integrity, and precision.
Officiating isn’t just about enforcing rules it’s about mentoring young athletes, fostering sportsmanship, and being a steady presence when tensions run high. Whether you’re a former athlete, a football enthusiast, or simply someone looking to contribute meaningfully to your community, you can Be the Difference this season.
New officials won’t be thrown into the game unprepared. SWOFOA offers a comprehensive training program that includes classroom instruction, on-field practice, and shadowing experienced referees. Officials are provided with the gear, rulebooks, and mentorship they need to succeed.

Be the Difference also means joining a close-knit community of individuals who share a passion for the sport. Referees work together, grow together, and take pride in their vital role in supporting youth sports. It’s more than a side job it’s a front-row seat to the game, with purpose.
As the number of teams grows, so does the demand for qualified officials. Without enough referees, some games may face delays or even cancellation. That’s why SWOFOA is urging locals to consider stepping into the stripes.
To those on the sidelines thinking, “Maybe I could do that,” the message is clear: Be the Difference. Bring your voice to the field, your eyes to the play, and your heart to the game. Your presence could change a season or a life.
