Your mission didn’t end when you hung up the uniform.

The qualities that made you successful in the military—discipline, integrity, decisiveness, and leadership—are the same qualities that make outstanding football officials.

The Abilene Football Officials Chapter is looking for veterans who want to continue serving their community, stay connected to the game, and be part of a team that values accountability and excellence.

Whether you played football or simply want a meaningful way to give back, officiating offers:
🇺🇸 A chance to lead and mentor young athletes
🏈 Camaraderie with a dedicated officiating crew
💰 Extra income with a flexible schedule
⭐ An opportunity to continue making a difference

Battlefield 2 Ballfields is an excellent partner to us, helping new officials with uniform purchases and dues. Come learn more about it next Tuesday @ 1745 Patty Hanks School of Nursing.

You served your country. Now help serve the game.

If you’re a veteran interested in becoming a football official, we’d love to talk with you.
