Referee Jobs in Evanston, IL

A Referee plays a critical role in the fitness and recreation industry by enforcing the rules and regulations of various sports and games. They are responsible for ensuring fair play, resolving disputes, and maintaining the safety and orderliness of players. Referees monitor game play, assess penalties, judge performances, and make crucial decisions that can impact the outcome of a game.
