What we’re working toward
ISRA is a nonprofit run for officials. We set measurable goals and put the large majority of every dollar toward referees on the field.
Retention
Keep more referees in the game
More first-year officials returning for a second season — the clearest sign Indiana is a place referees want to stay.
Support
Support new officials faster
Mentoring, the monthly Academy, and a clear path so new referees never feel alone on the field.
Respect
Pay referees promptly
Our standard is payment within seven days of a match for events we run.
