How Important Are Officials & Umpires?

The objective of the Intramural Sports Program at Minnesota State University is to provide our students with an opportunity to enjoy recreation in an organized, spirited, and sportsmanlike manner. We believe that our Intramural Sports program will be one of the finest in the country! One of the reasons for this upcoming success is the high quality of supervision and administration that both our student and professional staffs will provide.

The INTRAMURAL OFFICIAL/UMPIRE plays a critical role in activity/game supervision and administration. An official or umpire is under fire and "on the line" when he/she puts on the whistle and stripes and walks on to the court or field. It takes a special person to accept this role and these responsibilities to assure a quality officiated contest for all participants.

The INTRAMURAL OFFICIAL/UMPIRE will be a vital part of our activities and essential to the quality program we offer at MSU. We provide high quality instruction for our officials in the rules, mechanics, and techniques of sports officiating. The officials/umpires are paid to attend the training meetings and clinics. We view sports officiating as an active way of involving yourself in sports for a lifetime. Pay rate for all officials is $8.35/hour.
