In your local town, go to where they play soccer. You will find a referee fir sicer and he can tell you how to becime a referee.  I know you have to apply for a license for your local county (they don't want anybody with a police record\nOnce you do that and talk to a reristered referee.  You should have all the info you need.\n GOOG LUCK,  judi08070@verizon.net

This has happened several times throughout the history in football. These days - in additon to a referee and two referee's assistants - there is a "4 official" and a replacement. In such circumstances, the 4th official will replace the referee,with the standby replacement taking over the duties of the 4th official.\nIn the olden days, a linesman would take over the duties of the referee, and there has been cases, where they have had to request spectators who are qualified referees to make themselves known and be a linesman.

Start off by volunteering at a HS or little league team. \n\nOr if you are in college, get in touch with the school team and see about being a manager and there you can get a lot of good knowledge by watching all the practices.

You're probably going to have to start as a position coach and then work your way up to coordinator then head coach.  Experience is everything for coaches in football.

The best route would maybe be to contact your local club and volunteer your services whilst simultaneously taking some FA coaching courses (the higher the level you achieve, the more work opportunities that will be available to you). Without any coaching certificates you may find it very hard to get past the basic coaching level.\n\nFA Coaching courses do cost money though.\n\nhttp://www.thefa.com/GrassrootsNew/FALearning/NewsAndFeatures/Postings/2003/12/Becoming_a_coach.htm

Just pop down your local job centre, fill in a few forms, and hey presto!\n\nBasically, if you are not signed up with a club by the age of 14, you will never play high level football.

I ask FIFA referee Markus Merk and he explained it as to train, train, train....... I myself am a USSF referee, but started in my 30's. He started at 14. Go to as many clinics, training sessions and meetings as possible. Just like some players, make game tapes and have a referee evaluate them. Contact your local football club and find out when referees train or meet. Best of luck to you.

There are two schools that you must attend to become a professional umpire.  They begin usually the fitsrt full week in January and go for 5 weeks.  They are both located in Florida.  One is the Harry Wendlestedt School and the other is Jim Evans Academy of Professional Umpiring.  For college you should find a local high school or summer league association and branch out from there.  Most Junior Colleges use high school guys with experience.  The upper divisions usually use umpires that have attended pro school and didn't make it, or guys with lots of years and experience.

The process for becoming a Notary Public varies by state and/or jurisdiction, but typically includes the following steps: \n\nApplication. Applicants provide name, address and other contact information, and answer questions as to age, residency, previous Notary commissions held and background.\n\nFee. Applicants must pay an application or commissioning fee to the commissioning authority.\n\nOath. Applicants must take an oath of office. The oath may be incorporated into the application or filed with a county clerk or other local official after the commission is issued and within a specified period of time. \nAdditional steps may be required, such as taking an educational course, passing an examination or obtaining a Notary bond.

Depends on what type of coaching you want to do and on what level.\n\n1. Professional - NFL, NFL Europe, Canadian\n2. Semi-professional - Many local semi-pro teams in your area\n3. Arena - local arena teams\n4. College\n5. Prep School\n6. High School\n7. Pop Warner\n\nI would take a look at your experience level and determine the level that is appropriate for you.\n\nNext, I would put together a rudimentary resume with your experience focused on sports and football.  Make it like a resume.  I bet you can find examples online.  Yahoo, "Football Coach Resume".  Put it together in word so you can email it to people and create a short cover letter as well.\n\nOnce you find the appropriate level and make your resume and cover letter then determine if you want to be local or be in a certain geography.\n\nThen submit it to all the sports jobs websites that are out there for your particular interest.  Do sports jobs search on Yahoo.  I found many out there.\n\nThe most important thing to do is network with the teams and the people on those teams that are looking to hire.  This could be with the AD, Director of Player Personell or even the coach themselves.  Once you narrow it down to the specific teams.  Call them directly and be aggressive.  Talk about your benefits to them based on your resume and ask for a interview.  Be prepared to make mistakes and learn from them.  It might take time to get a job, but if you want it bad enough you can achieve anything.\n\nGood Luck!

They can be from the same country.\n\nBut the referees cant be from the countries playing, or other countries in the same stage group, or country that they would fight in the next match if they win, or neighbourhood country, or issue country's(Irak-USA, and other conflict areas)\n\nIn this would cup, I have seen a lot of referees from countries that didn't qualify. That would be more fear.

Visit http://www.nysphsaa.org/. Look for the link that says "Officials Coordinating Federation" and click on it. There is information for you to contact the representative for girls basketball referees.\n\nUsually, becoming a high school official involves paying a fee and taking a test to show that you know the rules. Once you pass the test, you are eligible to officiate for that school year. The procedure is similar in other states.\n\nGood luck in becoming an official! I suggest you talk to other officials in your area. They are a good source of information and will help you as you begin your officiating career. I just became an basketball official in Oklahoma, and the officials in my local association have been a huge help in getting started.
