RACINE, WI (June 28, 2025) — The National Association of Sports Officials (NASO), Referee Enterprises, Inc., and MIBT are pleased to announce a renewal of their partnership, as well as announcing the latest MIBT/NASO online High School Football Officiating Clinic that will stream LIVE for the 2025 Sports Officiating Summit in Montgomery, Ala., this summer.
The partnership, now in its second year, focuses on providing online digital resources for high school sports officials in a variety of sports. Through MIBT’s premier online portal (MIBT.org), NASO and Referee provide support and collaborative resources for both live and on-demand online clinics to help officials prepare for their upcoming seasons.
“We are excited to continue our partnership with NASO and Referee,” said MIBT President Tim Kiefer. “Between our production capabilities and NASO’s connections throughout the industry, we look forward to the continued growth of our national high school officiating clinic audiences.”
Over the course of the 2025-26 sports cycle, NASO, Referee & MIBT will broadcast national clinics for high school officials in the sports of football, basketball, baseball and softball with the possibility of adding two additional sports this year. The Football clinic is scheduled for JULY 27, 2025, from 12:00-2:00pm Central, and for the first time will be streamed live for the 2025 Sports Officiating Summit, held this year in Montgomery, Ala.
“We are thrilled to continue our work with MIBT,” said NASO & Referee Chief Marketing Officer Jim Arehart. “Tim has been a leading figure in online officiating education for more than a decade, and we’re proud of our affiliation with him and MIBT, going all the way back to our days of producing football officiating training videos on DVD with him and (ESPN football rules analyst and retired Big Ten referee) Bill LeMonnier. “I’m especially excited about this year’s online high school football clinic because for the first time in history, it will stream live from NASO’s 2025 Sports Officiating Summit. He’s got a great lineup of clinicians, but I know their will be a few surprise guest appearances!”
Look for additional announcements from both MIBT and NASO over the next few months with more details about the other clinics.
