Dover, DE (August 19, 2022) – DIAA is aware of recent information shared with media outlets by the Delmarva Football Officials Association (DFOA) regarding a work stoppage for football officials that could potentially impact the upcoming football season’s games for Henlopen Conference schools.
DIAA is committed to working collaboratively with all DIAA approved officials’ associations, in addition to DAAD and DIOC, when considering all future requests concerning officials’ fees. The opportunity to participate in interscholastic athletics is vital to the social, emotional, and physical wellbeing of student athletes. A work stoppage by DFOA would hinder such an opportunity and would not be in the best interest of Delaware’s student athletes.
For more information, please review the letter DIAA sent DFOA on Thursday, Aug. 18, 2022.
