After completion of the class and earning an IHSA (Illinois State High School Association) sports officiating license, you will be given the opportunity to be assigned to officiate high school football games for the upcoming season. Officials with 1-3 years experience also find this class very advantageous and are welcome to attend.

Passing of John Hobscheid
IACO would like to share the news of the untimely passing of multi-sport and state final official John Hobscheid yesterday. John passed away from complications after back surgery. Even though he was not a member of every association…chances are that everyone has members that worked with John on a ball diamond, a football field or a basketball court at some point over the years. John was a great man who will be sorely missed.
