SUWANEE, Ga. -- The Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) is celebrating “Officials’ Appreciation Week” along with all other Division III and Division II conferences throughout the 2023-24 academic year. This year marks the third year of this initiative adopted by the Division III Commissioners Association (DIIICA) to recognize and thank conference officials across all sports.
Officials’ Appreciation Week will be celebrated during the fall, winter and spring sport seasons. To kick off the year, the fall celebration will take place from October 7th – October 13th followed by January 27th – February 2nd for winter and April 7th – April 13th for spring.
The commitment of SCAC officials and referees to safe, fair and competitive contests is a critical part of the student-athlete experience. Often overlooked and underappreciated is the amount of time, effort and dedication our officials give back to support their sports and our student-athletes.
"Officials provide a baseline for fair gameplay that is at the core of everything we do relative to athletic competition," said SCAC Commissioner Dwayne Hanberry. "That in and of itself deserves our respect and appreciation."
"We are thankful for these women and men who have chosen officiating as a mechanism to give back to the sports that we all love."
Officials’ Appreciation Week is one of numerous initiatives that are being implemented as part of the Division III Commissioners Association (DIIICA) Strategic Plan for Collegiate Officiating that was created as a result of the DIIICA’s Strategic Analysis of the State of Collegiate Officiating. In conjunction with the NCAA and the National Association of Sports Officials (NASO), there is an urgent need for sports officials, if interested please visit the NCAA’s Say Yes to Officiating platform to learn more.
