Gearing Up for the 2023 Season!
There are a few new and exciting changes headed your way. First up, our meeting location has changed to West Valley High School.
For those interested in beginning to officiate, there are “First Year Officials” meetings just for you. Please reach out to our training coordinator, Steve Felker, to get plugged in.
One Stadium Spokane is opening just north of downtown and will replace the, now defunct, Albi Stadium as host to many high school football games. Additionally, IEFOA will be providing radio headsets to be used at all One and Union Stadium games. This technology will help us provide even greater service to the community by enabling us to communicate better and more efficiently throughout the game.
Lastly, don’t forget that this website has many helpful features that you’ll want to revisit regularly. Find news, rules updates, events, and board minutes to keep you informed and on top of your game.

3rd Annual Memorial Golf Tournament
Fall 2022 Pay Raise Information
In an attempt to enhance recruiting and retention, WIAA and WOA have jointly approved a substantial game fee increase of $20.00 per game per official with the increase being phased in over the next 3 school years.
WIAA and WOA agreed that these game fee increases will go directly and timely (through the recent implementation of ArbiterPay) into officials pockets. None of the money being allocated by WIAA schools will be used to increase administration fees at local or WOA levels.
