What is Official Finders?

We’ve served the needs of youth sports organizations in Northern IL and Northwest IN since 2009. While our sports officials are the backbone of our organization, we know that it takes more than that to ensure the game day goes off without a hitch. 

 

So even though we certainly invite you to call us when you need officials for baseball, softball, basketball, flag football, volleyball, soccer, dodgeball, field hockey, and kickball, we would remind you that we offer far more than that. The same phone call will also take care of any scorekeepers, hall monitors, and concessions workers you may need and will ensure you have competent, professional staff who show up on time, ready to give their best.

Five Reasons Northern Illinois Youth Sports Organizations Trust Official Finders

Why trust us for your sports event staffing needs?

 

1. The Most Officials in Illinois

Our talent pool comprises more than 1500 qualified and trained officials. We cover Illinois and Northwest Indiana. 

 

2. Everything — Yes, EVERYTHING — You Need In One Place

When time and money are tight, why waste resources on comparison shopping? We ensure that the support staff you need is within easy reach. We take care of discounted sports equipment, tournament scheduling, and other challenges you may face, and even payment to our contractors is taken care of seamlessly so you don’t have to worry.

 

3. Reliable Officials

If game time is 7:30, we make sure you start right on time. Give us your schedule and we’ll make sure that every piece and person is in place for a smooth start. You don’t have to manage the officials — we’ll do that for you.

 

4. No Surprises

We feel that the only surprises you should ever see should be breathtaking plays on the field. You shouldn’t have to worry about the reliability of the officials, scheduling difficulties, or even added fees if a game has to be canceled a few hours in advance. All refereeing training classes have been completed well in advance, and all terms and conditions will be disclosed up-front.

 

5. Full Support, Always

If you need help or just have a nagging question, you can reach Official Finders by phone, text, chat, or email any time of every day. It’s a level of support no other company in the area can match.
