Be In Demand!

Referees and Non-Skating Officials are deeply needed in modern roller derby. 

​

Not only can you officiate OSRDA home games and scrimmages, but other leagues will give you plenty of opportunities as well. There are opportunities to travel all over the world as a high level official.

Keep the Skaters In Line

Referees are responsible for keeping everyone safe. It's a tough job, but it can also be really fun. As a thank you, referees always get to skate for free at OSRDA practices and events, no matter their league affiliation. 

​

Non-Skating Officials, or NSOs, are responsible for a number of things that keep game play organized. They time the jams and penalties, and they keep score, among many other duties. This is a great position for people who want to be involved in derby, but who might not be able to, or want to skate.
