Job description

Hi, I'm Scott with i9 Sports in Scottsdale/Phoenix. We're looking for referees for our fall youth flag football league, and we'd love to have you on the field with us.
No officiating experience needed. If you're enthusiastic, on time, professional and clean-cut, we'll teach you the rest.
Where and when:
Saturdays 7am-12pm at Horizon Park and Vista del Camino Park, starting 9/19/2026.
Sundays 7am-12pm at Thunderbird Park and Chaparral Park, starting 9/20/2026.
What it pays (per game, not hourly):
Jr and Senior games (45 min): $12-$15 to start
Pee-wee games (30 min): $8-$10 to start
Seniors: $20 / $13
This is a 1099 independent contractor role, not a W-2 position.
What you need:
18 or older (we run a Sterling Volunteers background check)
Email address and a cell phone
Reliable transportation to the parks
What to wear:
We can provide a ref shirt, but we'd prefer you get your own. Black shorts or pants and athletic shoes.
If that sounds like a good way to spend a weekend morning, apply and I'll be in touch.
With over 3.5 million registrations in communities across the country, i9 Sports is the nation's largest multi-sport provider focused solely on high-quality, community-based youth sports programs.
