In high school sports, referees play a pivotal role in ensuring that games are conducted fairly and within the rules. They are responsible for much more than making calls during the game—they manage the overall flow of the game, keep order on the field or court and uphold the integrity of the sport. Referees ensure that all athletes are given an equal opportunity to compete by enforcing the rules with impartiality and consistency.
