GNOFOA policies towards: Uniforms, Behavior & Schedules

Uniforms

I am aware that the proper official varsity uniforms consist of the following: Clean Black Pants with white stripe (1 1/4” stripe) non wind pants, LHSOA logo jersey only, long sleeve LHSOA jersey, black belt, predominately all black field shoes, black and white officials hat, yellow flag, 2 blue bean bags, down indicator and a chain clip (if HL for a game assignment).

I am aware that the proper non-varsity uniform is: clean solid black athletic shorts (with or without a belt) that sit at or above the knee, short sleeve or long sleeve LHSOA logo jersey only, black belt, predominately all black field shoes, black and white officials hat, yellow flag, 2 blue bean bags, down indicator, chain clip and white short athletic socks.

I am aware that uniform violations could result in game suspension(s) ranging from one game to a whole season or dismissal from GNOFOA.

I am aware that the LHSOA jerseys can only be worn to and from game sites. Wearing the uniform while consuming alcohol is immediate grounds for membership termination.

I am only allowed to wear LHSOA jerseys to games only assigned by the non-varsity assignor or the varsity assignment secretary. Wearing the uniform while officiating games not assigned by either assignor is immediate grounds for membership termination.

Behavior

I am aware that any reported or observed conduct that is deemed not to be professional on the field or outside of the game is strictly prohibited and is subject to suspension or expulsion of your GNOFOA membership.

I am aware that negative public commentary either verbal or written about GNOFOA or GNOFOA members is strictly prohibited and is subject to suspension or expulsion of your GNOFOA membership.

I am aware that discussions regarding game situations, plays, ejections, missed calls or any other meeting details or communications is strictly prohibited to be discussed on any social media outlet, public news outlet or schools.

Schedules

I am aware that varsity schedules are constructed by the appointed LHSAA assignment secretary and that no GNOFOA board member has control over assigned games. GNOFOA is not responsible if you do not receive an assignment, location of the assignment, teams assigned or games assigned.

I understand that it is the responsibility to block unavailable dates in Arbiter, at least two weeks in advance.

I understand that GNOFOA will exhaust all efforts to collect outstanding Varsity pay as a courtesy not as an obligation.

I acknowledge that I am aware and have read the GNOFOA policies towards: Uniforms, Behavior & Schedules. *

Louisiana High School Athletic Association Officials Concussions Statement

After reading the Concussion Fact Sheet, and reviewing the LHSAA Concussion Management Protocol, I am aware of the following information:

Please check "I acknowledge" for each of the following statements and enter your name at the bottom.

A concussion is a brain injury which athletes should report to the medical staff. *

I acknowledge

A concussion can affect the athlete's ability to perform everyday activities, and affect reaction time, balance, sleep, and classroom performance. You cannot always see a concussion, but you might notice some of the symptoms right away. Other symptoms can show up hours or days after the injury. *

I acknowledge

I will not knowingly allow the athlete to return to play in a game if he/she has received a blow to the head or body that results in concussion-related symptoms. *

I acknowledge

Athletes shall not return to play in a game on the same day that they are suspected of having a concussion. *

I acknowledge

If I suspect an athlete has suffered a concussion, it is my responsibility to take that athlete to the sideline to the Head Coach. *

I acknowledge

I will encourage the athlete to report any suspected injuries and illnesses to the medical staff, including signs and symptoms of concussions. *

I acknowledge

Following concussion the brain needs time to heal. Concussed athletes are much more likely to have a repeat concussion if they return to play before their symptoms resolve. In rare cases, repeat concussions can cause permanent brain damage, and even death. *

I acknowledge

I am aware that athletes diagnosed with a concussion must be assessed by an appropriate healthcare provider. Athletes will begin a graduated return to play protocol following full recovery of neurocognition and balance. *

I acknowledge
