THE SPORTS OFFICIALS LINK PAGE
This is THE site for links to websites for sports officials. Regardless of the sport you work, or where you live, I hope you can find something useful here.
But I need your help! Know of a site that can be of interest to fellow officials?
If so, send me an e-mail! dommer1@hotmail.com
Last update: 24 November, 2004
Each entry is organized by sport, with local associations/chapters and forums first ("other" entries are also here) and governing bodies/federations last. A short description may be added to some entries.
You can also find equipment vendors/makers here, and what kind of equipment (for what sport) they sell. Study aids/books may also be found in this category.
Lastly, links to rules and mechanics may be found in their own category.
Pages will open in this browser window. If you want to open them in a new window, right-click on the link and select "Open in New Window".
