2010 - 2011 Information

The minor league seasons will commence in January of 2011. We will be servicing four minor league programs in 2011 with a total of 24 teams throughout Florida. Each league plays on Saturday's and/or Sunday's utilizing NFL rules with minor amendments.

Thirteen crew chiefs will be utilized with crew members of seven. Each crew will also have a traveling ECO. Officials in south Florida, the Florida east and west coasts and the Ocala / Gainesville area are encouraged to apply.
Game fees are paid, in cash, to game officials at the venues prior to the opening kick-off.

In order to be considered for membership with the minor league group, applicants must meet or exceed the following requirements.

1. A minimum of seven years (7) documented varsity high school experience. College or previous minor league experience is a +.

2. A completed medical questionaire.

3. Successful passing of a criminal background check.

SICOA will be taking over the administration of all minor league programs in 2011. Each league may have their own officials association in which all members will be a part of and participate in. There will be no separate meetings or workshops for officials to attend other than the 2010 workshop sponsored by SICOA.

A 2010 - 2011 application form is now available. All officials will be responsible to complete this form for membership consideration. However, there are no assurances of game assignments to any official. Assignments are based on crew location, availability, ability and game schedules. Any official that applies and is accepted but due to geographical restraints cannot physically travel to designated venues within reasonable proximity will have their registration fee promptly refunded,
