As students complete each course, they will be eligible to contact the corresponding sport officiating chapter and immediately start shadowing officials. 

Flour Bluff ISD is only 1 of 15 districts in Texas to provide this program to students. The district stated that the course will allow students to learn a trade that will help them build characteristics beneficial to their future and that students will have the opportunity to develop and polish interpersonal communication skills and connect with the community.
