OFFICIALS
DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD
The Minnesota State High School Coaches Association has always been aware of the value of officials as an integral part of the high school athletic program.  These programs could not function without the dedication that is currently being provided to prep sports by the many officials in Minnesota. Nominations to receive the Officials DSA can be submitted using the following criteria:
A few years ago, the MSHSCA, in an effort to restore sportsmanship, as it should be, to the bleachers of high school sporting events, created an Officials Distinguished Service Award.  
  1. Should still be an active official.
  2. Have been a high school official of varsity competition for at least 25 years.
The award is presented to five deserving officials at the MSHSCA's Annual Awards Banquet that is held each year in November. If you know a deserving official in your area that has satisfied the established criteria, complete the accompanying nomination form.
The MSHSCA has maintained a collective file of nominations but is currently looking fro more nominations of the many deserving officials that need to be recognized for their long time service to Minnesota High School Sports.   Download Nomination form  (PDF Format)
