The California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) is proud to announce its partnership with Officially Human (OH), an organization dedicated to restoring respect and positive treatment of sport officials at all levels.

“In the CCAA, we are incredibly appreciative of our game officials and this partnership with Officially Human provides us with an opportunity to humanize the most difficult job in sports,” said CCAA Commissioner Allen Hardison. “Officials are critical to the work we do as a conference and this collaboration will offer all of us the chance to learn and further support our referees, umpires and game officials.”

Officially Human was founded in 2019 to restore respect to, and positive treatment of, sport officials through increased education and communication to all stakeholders (administrators, coaches, and fans) while recruiting and retaining new officials at all levels.

Officials are critical to the student-athlete experience, and the CCAA is proud to stand alongside Officially Human in reinforcing the importance of respect, safety, and support for these essential members of the game.
