How important are officials?
The service officials provide is important and fun.
The objective of the intramural program at K-State is to provide our students an opportunity to recreate in an organized, spirited, and sportsmanlike manner. We believe our intramural program is one of the finest in the country! One reason for this success is the high quality of supervision and administration that our staff provides.
The intramural official plays a critical role in activity or game supervision and administration. An official is under fire and "on the line" when he or she puts on the whistle and official's shirt. It takes a special person to accept this role and go the extra steps to assure a quality officiated contest for the participants.
Each intramural official is a vital part of our program and essential to the quality program we offer at K-State. We provide high quality instruction for our officials in the rules, mechanics, and techniques of officiating each sport. This service is free to the prospective official.
