Referees
Referees can be paid or time used toward community service hours. If you are 12 years old or older we'd love to have you involved! Information about this age requirement is available at the OSA website.
Returning referees - don't forget to renew on-line with the OSA.
H.E.A.D.S. has an excellent support and development program for new refs. Adults as well as young people are encouraged to give it a try!
If you are interested in becoming a referee please call H.E.A.D.S. administrative office at 855-4431 or email to our head Referee, Pam Brooks or HEADS Administrator
