The Southeastern Athletic Officials Association provides officials for school sports programs throughout Southeastern North Carolina. We are constantly seeking individuals who have high character and integrity, a love for the game and a willingness to work with others. It takes a special person to be able to control their emotions, perform professionally and maintain order, when all about them have lost their composure and chaos abounds. Officiating requires hours of preparation, study and training. Officials are expected to be perfect every night. We are under appreciated by many who don't understand the commitment required to perform at such high level. However, it is still a very rewarding and fun avocation. Most importantly, we do it for the kids. If you are interested in joining the SAOA and becoming an official, follow the instructions below. You will also find information about specific sports by clicking on the Sports links above. A Regional Supervisor Of Officials assigns officials to officiate games for each particular sport. Each sports sub-site has the Regional Supervisor's name and contact information listed within the section.
