Summerville Parks and Recreation is sharing information about a new statewide opportunity for anyone interested in becoming a sports official.

The Georgia Recreation and Park Association has partnered with the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation to offer sports officials training for anyone 16 years of age or older who is willing to complete the online training.

The program includes sports officials training, medical insurance, liability insurance, background checks, and uniform and equipment funding. The upfront cost to take the online training course is just $20.

The first training course available is for baseball and softball umpires. Additional training videos for tackle football, flag football, and soccer are expected in July, with volleyball and basketball training videos scheduled for August.
