I was recently having a conversation with a parent of an outgoing senior athlete. He expressed that he would miss hanging around the ballfields, to which I replied, “have you ever thought about officiating?“
Officiating is a tough job. Many good officials are getting older, or poor behavior has chased them out of their role. We need good officials more than ever. Due to the law of supply and demand, officiating rates have recently gone up significantly. Here are some examples of what the SAC Conference will pay next year:
Var. Football -- $120 per game
Var. Softball & Baseball -- $180 per double header
Freshman Basketball -- $60 per game
Var. Wrestling -- $90 per dual meet
Track Starter -- $110 per dual meet
If you love sports, are a recent grad who wants to stay involved in the sport you love, or just someone looking to make a little extra money, see the attached document for the SAC Conference. It is intended for recent grads, but provides information about how to get registered as an official, and how to join an officials' association. If you need more information, please contact the South Haven Athletic Office at 269-637-0503.

FOR THE 23-24 SCHOOL/ATHLETIC YEAR:
Any athlete that played a sport in MS or HS this year and was registered in FinalForms will receive an email later this month requesting that they update their information. This should be MUCH easier than your initial registration and will need to be done before your athlete begins his/her sport.
Any incoming 6th grader, or any student who did not play sports this year but plans on doing so next year, must register through FinalForms to be eligible to participate in school-sponsored sports. You can find a full explanation of the registration process by going to: https://www.shps.org/o/athletics/article/800654
Questions can be directed to the South Haven Athletic Office. Have a great summer.
It appears I included a typo on some of our previous posts in regards to sports physicals. The correct information is: Per MHSAA rules, physicals must be performed no earlier than April 15, 2023 (NOT 2022) to be permissible for the coming school/athletic year. Sorry for the confusion.
