The 2023 Sports Officiating Summit put on by the National Association of Sports Officials in Riverside, Calif. from July 30-August 1 was an event of historic proportion.
For the first time in the event’s five decade history, 100 organizations sponsored the three days. The 2023 rendition was the 41st annual Sports Officiating Summit and leagues, conferences, national governing bodies, charitable groups, gear/equipment retailers and more from around the world threw their support behind “BETTER SPORTS THROUGH OFFICIATING.”
Almost 500 individual leaders and active officials were on site at the Riverside Convention Center during the three-day span. Preceding the Summit, Saturday, July 29 was the statewide event Officiate California Day put on the California Interscholastic Federation and the CIF-Southern Section.
