16th Annual Ohio Youth Football State Championships

November 2nd - 3rd, 2024

Sports Force Parks - 3115 Cleveland Rd., Sandusky, OH 44870

Officials Fee - Team Deposit: $50.00
Due Prior to Registration

Over the past decade, the entry fee for participating teams has only seen an increase of 4%. While this has allowed us to maintain accessibility and affordability for teams, it has also posed challenges in ensuring adequate compensation for our officials, who are a vital role in the smooth and fair conduct of the championship.

To address this issue, we have implemented a $50 official’s deposit fee as part of the entry process. This fee is aimed at providing competitive compensation for our officials, enabling us to attract and retain the best talent available. By doing so, we aim to uphold the integrity of the championship and ensure a high standard of officiating throughout the event. The fee is separate from the entry fee and goes directly to the officials compensation.

Team Entry: $495.00
Registration Opens for Returning Teams on July 1st.
