Kern County Officials Association ~ Our 86th-Season of excellence!

Picture
The Kern County Officials Association was established in 1939 to serve the youth sports and high schools of Bakersfield and the surrounding communities within Kern County, California. It began as a partnership with teachers who officiated, coaches, and the Kern High School District. This new organization was originally called the Kern County Coaches & Officials Association.  The KCCOA ensured officials were trained and certified in the rules and mechanics of the game to ensure quality high school officiating. In 1982, the KCCOA morphed into its own independent organization and was renamed the Kern County Officials Association. The KCOA presides over officiating at all levels of football from beginning youth to high school Varsity-level as a CIF Central Section Certified Association serving 30 local public and private high schools. Many of our officials have worked State CIF Championship Games and some have gone on to work Junior College and NCAA football.
