The Arizona Football Officials Association (AzFOA) recognizes contributions by its members through several different awards. We also recognize schools who display exemplary sportsmanship during the season.

Awarded to a first-year official who shows dedication to the avocation and the willingness to learn and advance. One award recipient per year with a nomination by Training and/or Mentoring committee and approved by 2/3rds vote of the AzFOA BOD.

Officials are nominated for the Hall of Fame by an AzFOA member during the previous Football Season. Nominations will be solicited via the AzFOA website digital form. Biographies must be included with the nomination and are reviewed by the Awards Committee to determine qualified candidates. Qualified officials and their biographies are brought before the Board for a final 2/3rds vote for acceptance.
