The world of sports and athletics thrives when supported by well trained and qualified officiating. Fox Valley Football Officials (FVFO) is as a leading Football Officials Association serving the Aurora, Illinois area and beyond. Our team is committed to providing training, certification, re-certification, and assessments for new and experienced officials who are responsible for promoting safe and fair play for athletes of all ages and levels of competition.

The primary purposes of the group are to promote, encourage, and improve high school football officiating in the state of Illinois. Most members are registered with the Illinois High School Association (IHSA).

Experience levels range from those who are "brand new," to seasoned veterans who have worked state high school championships.

New football officials are encouraged to become members and to attend association meetings where they can:
Learn how to apply the rules
Learn to work with one or more partners.
Get assignments for experience while working with veteran officials at the grade school, junior high & underclassman high school levels.

Meetings are generally held at Aurora West High School, Aurora, Illinois at 7:00 PM on Monday nights beginning in late July and running through early September.
Regular meetings are held weekly during the first five Mondays prior to the start of the high school football season. With an Annual Business Meeting held after the football season. First year officials are encouraged to come a half hour early for some extra instruction and question and answer sessions. The nights we meet early are on the meeting tab for that evening.
