Sport for Life Long-Term Officials Development Guidelines

Sport for Life’s new ‘LTOD’ page is a practical web resource to support the development of quality official’s programs.

Officials can be paid or volunteer, and are anyone who supports a sport event, for example: judges, organizers, referees, umpires, timers, starters, scorers, etc.

The three sections of the Long-Term Officials Development resource are aligned to quality sport principles:

  1. Good Programs: Long-Term Development Stage Appropriate Officiating
  2. Good People: Supporting Effective Officials Development
  3. Good Places: Safety and Inclusion for Officials

Click on each section below and use the 5 Recommended Steps to assess your program needs, and also use the resources button to find supporting research and review current promising practices from across Canada.

until the 2025 Sport for Life Summit starts!
