The IESA IHSA licensed officials. The IHSA Officials Department oversees the licensing and testing of Illinois' 13,000 high school officials. Officials are licensed through the IHSA in 11 different sports: baseball, basketball, football, boys gymnastics, girls gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, track and field, volleyball, and wrestling. Once licensed, officials are required to attend a rules clinic and take a written rules test each year in each sport in which they are licensed.
The IESA uses licensed officials for the following state tournament series: softball, baseball, cross-country, basketball, wrestling, volleyball, and track and field. Five years of experience as a registered IHSA official is recommended for officials used in the IESA state tournament series.
If you are currently a licensed official and are interested in officiating for any of the IESA state tournaments, please log-in to the IESA Officials Center with your IHSA credentials by using the link below. After confirming all information and submitting open post-season dates, you will automatically be considered for the next available state series. Instructions for submitting your availability are linked below under IESA Information. If you are interested in working regional tournament play, please contact the schools in your area. Officials at the regional level for IESA games are currently hired by the host schools.
Thank you for your interest in the officiating IESA activities. If you have questions, please contact the IESA Office.
