Got a thick skin and need a part-time job that keeps you active?

Then the Oregon School Activities Association and the Oregon Athletic Officials Association want you.

"The OSAA and the OAOA have reached a crisis point in not having enough high school officials in all sports statewide," OSAA sports information director Steve Walker said in an email Tuesday to Oregon media.

"In the past five years, the number of officials has decreased 16 percent while the number of contests needing officials has increased," he wrote. "The result is the OSAA and the OAOA are starting to see games canceled, especially at the sub-varsity level.

"Both organizations are making officials retention and recruitment a priority and are exploring all areas in promoting the issue."
