Former Sabino and Palo Verde baseball coach Rod Allen will teach a Sports Officiating class at Pima College’s Fitness and Sports Science center next semester. It will be a foundation for those wishing to begin officiating careers for the AIA or NJCAA in soccer, volleyball, basketball, football, softball and baseball. Given that the Pac-12 now pays basketball officials between $3,000 and $4,000 per game, it can be a financially rewarding career. Veteran local referees and umpires will be featured in the Monday night (6:30-8:20) classes. Information can be found on PCC’s website.
