Officials

Officials are the unsung heroes of our sport – any sport, really. To become an Official, you’ll need to register and take courses. Monthly, our Athletics Alberta Officials Committee reviews who has registered in our province and which course they have taken. From that understanding, they will be in touch with Officials directly.

Below are some links to start your Officiating career, upgrade, or stay informed.
