Prior Lake Athletics for Youth

Get Involved

Officials & Umpires

Baseball and softball umpires, basketball officials, lacrosse and volleyball referees — P.L.A.Y. needs them every season, and they are paid.

How it works

1. Apply

Complete the officials application for the sport and season you want to work. Adults complete a background check.

2. Train

Attend a rules clinic and mechanics session led by experienced officials before the season begins.

3. Get scheduled

Pick up games through the scheduling system — you choose the nights and locations that work for you.

4. Get paid

Officials are paid per game, with rates that increase by age division and experience.

Who can officiate

Youth officials

Officiating is one of the best first jobs in town. Middle and high school athletes can work younger age divisions, learn the rules from the inside and earn game fees around their own practice schedule.

Adult officials

Experienced adults are needed at the older and travel divisions. Prior officiating experience helps but is not required — training is provided.

Interested? Email playadmin@playinfo.org with the sport you would like to officiate.
