Tri-Cities Officials Academy Philosophy
At Tri-Cities Officials Academy you can expect:
At the Tri-Cities Officials Academy, we believe great officiating is built on community. The game is never officiated alone—it is supported by partners, mentors, crews, and a shared commitment to excellence.
Our mission is rooted in one belief and one promise:
Together We Will.
- Together we will train the craft of officiating with purpose and discipline.
- Together we will grow as officials, constantly learning, improving, and holding ourselves to the highest standards.
- Together we will support our crew—because trust, communication, and accountability define great teams.
- Together we will build the confidence and leadership that allow officials to serve the game with integrity.
Our academy is led by a staff whose experience spans every level of the game—from NCAA Division I competition to High School State Tournaments. But experience alone does not define our instructors. They are mentors first—kind, caring individuals committed to teaching, encouraging, and strengthening the officiating community in our region.
At the Tri-Cities Officials Academy:
• We are developing officials
• We are building leaders
• We are strengthening crews
• We are investing in the future of high school athletics in our region
Because when officials come together with a shared purpose, the result is something greater than any individual.
Together We Will.

Great officials trust their preparation and their partners. Through training and mentorship, we help officials develop the confidence to make decisions and lead on the field.
Leadership
Officials set the tone for the game. We prepare officials to lead with composure, integrity, and respect for players, coaches, and the sport itself.
