The purpose of the Washington Officials Association is to provide qualified officials for WIAA sanctioned regular season and postseason events. This shall be accomplished by developing:
- a registration process that is thorough, accurate and prompt.
- a core of knowledgeable sports rules clinicians who are dedicated to interscholastic coaches, participants and to the game itself.
- a process to recruit, train and retain competent officials, particularly from the female and minority segments of the population.
- a Board of Directors who are leaders and who are responsive to the needs of the associations and boards.
The Goals of WOA Officials are to:
- Accept the role of official in an unassuming manner. Showboating and over-officiating are not acceptable.
- Maintain confidence and poise, controlling the contest from start to finish.
- Know the rules thoroughly and abide by established Code of Conduct.
