Experience that matters
COR Academy instructors bring years of high school and postseason officiating experience directly to you.

Their expertise allows them to provide practical, real-world guidance that goes beyond the textbook.
Hands-on development
Our instructors employ a dynamic, hands-on approach to skill-building. Through live-game simulations, film study, and practical drills, they empower officials to master mechanics, positioning, and game management. You'll learn to recognize fouls and anticipate plays, making accurate, confident decisions under pressure. We focus on real-world situations to build your confidence and skills.

Expect a truly personalized and mentorship-focused teaching style. Our instructors offer individualized feedback, track your progress, and guide you in leadership, communication, and professionalism. The supportive yet challenging environment fosters growth, confidence, and the integrity essential for high school officiating. We are dedicated to developing officials with poise and professionalism.
