Professional officials from the NBA, the NFL, Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer and other leagues are working together to support the world of youth sports and make the playing environment a better place for everyone – athletes, coaches, parents, participants and officials.

The program targets and supports youth sports leagues to become certified through Officially Human, receiving education and training on proper treatment of officials. This helps ensure the future of youth sports as we know it, leaving the next generation of officials on solid ground.
