2023 HS FOOTBALL SEASON

Fellow HS Football Officials

The 2023 season is just 2 weeks away. Many of you have still not completed all the eligibility requirements to officiate this upcoming season and are in danger of losing your eligibility and assignments for the upcoming season.

This includes:

a.) NJSIAA Registration
b.) Test Completion
c.) Concussion Course (Clock operators need to take)

You can check your eligibility on Zebraweb. Even if you are virtually certain that you are up to date, you should check just to make certain. 

Checking your eligibility is easy using ZebraWeb.

Step 1 – Log in to Zebraweb

Step 2 – Click on the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association | NJSIAA association

Step 3 – Under the reports header, find the pull down menu entitled “My Eligibility” then select “Season Year” 2023-24 and click View Report.

Please complete these tasks ASAP as games will be removed by the NJSIAA if you do not have them all completed. Before you email anyone, make sure you check your status first. 

Registration: registration with the NJSIAA needs to be completed through the NJSIAA website www,njsiaa.org and not Zebraweb. Log in, select Officials then Register for the 2023-2024 season.

Test: If you have not completed the test on the NJSIAA website (not Zebraweb), click on the link to see directions on how to complete. Link for Directions Clock operators should check to see if they have a green dot, as this was completed for them. 

Concussion Course: The link to take the concussion course is https://nfhslearn.com/courses/concussion-in-sports-2

Checking Zebraweb: Please check Zebraweb daily as assignments are changing daily. Waiting days to accept or decline an assignment will hurt your chances of getting more assignments. Please keep your availability up to date. Also, please do not use the phone app as some assignments are not appearing on the mobile app. 

Meetings: Our first meeting is Tuesday, Aug 15th at the MANASQUAN ELKS, 17 Stockton Lake Blvd, Manasquan, NJ 08736. IT IS ALSO OUR STATE INTERP MEETING AND IS A MANDATORY MEETING. Other Chapter State Interp Meetings are listed on our website under MEETINGS.

Start thinking about HS football. Check your uniforms and equipment, review the new rules and start to get ready.

Thank you, stay healthy and enjoy what’s left of the summer!
