The Referee Institute was established to enhance the officiating craft for those who are just beginning their careers in this field. Founded in 2026, the Institute builds on over 20 years of experience in providing training for aspiring officials. Bryan and Vickie Van Kleeck have always aimed to offer the best possible experience for officials looking to enter the college ranks. The community we foster encourages a team atmosphere that enriches the experience for everyone involved.

We value our dedicated staff, who have provided expertise and guidance to many individuals pursuing their officiating goals.
