Officiate With Us

Officiating is a great way to be part of the derby community and learn about the sport. Roller derby is one of the most officials heavy sports out there. It takes 7 referees and 9 non-skating officials to fully staff a game. Officials can be of any gender but must be 18 years or older for WFTDA. 

Do I need experience?

No prior knowledge required! Just as we teach skaters, we teach officials as well. Our talented referees and non-skating officials will train you in the many officiating positions. We offer practice opportunities twice a week and also recommend attending the Roller Derby Officials Association of Arizona (RDOA) virtual clinics and live sessions as well. Or, come see the action at an upcoming game! 

Interested? 

If you have more questions, would like to learn more, or maybe come out to a practice and get an in-person overview, we would love to hear from you!
