All football officials must register and meet the licensing requirements with the Kentucky High School Athletics Association (KHSAA). No person can be assigned to officiate any football games for the KFOA without first being registered with the KHSAA.

To become registered with the KHSAA, you'll need to complete an application, pay the registration fee, take and pass an open-book rules test and join a local officials association (KFOA).

Upon receipt of your payment of the registration fee to the KHSAA the state will send you the rule books needed to study and take the test. Part I tests are now taken online and must be passed to complete your registration.

The KFOA can provide you with all the necessary information for registering with the KHSAA including the KHSAA application and will prepare you to take the exam. However you are welcome to contact the KHSAA directly at (859) 299-5472 or you may also visit their web site http://www.khsaa.org for additional contact information.

The KHSAA mailing address is 2280 Executive Drive, Lexington, KY 40505
