Mission Statement

Established in 1919, the Association of New England Football Officials (ANEFO) exists for the following purposes:

• To educate and train officials in the sport of high school football in accordance with the rules set forth by the NFHS and the MIAA.
• To enhance the knowledge and advance the skills of member officials as a means to promoting excellence in football officiating.
• To gain a better understanding and interpretation of rules and on-field mechanics through weekly in-season meetings and clinics.

To fulfill its mission, ANEFO will coordinate and provide activities within the organization designed to encourage extensive communication and active participation among the membership as we strive to improve our officiating skills.

President’s Message

I am truly honored to serve as President of the Association of New England Football Officials for 2022. We just completed an unprecedented last few years in which we were all tasked to learn an almost completely new set of rules, navigate through a pandemic and still produce the best officiating in state! Due to the strength, commitment and dedication of our members and the E-board we continue to take on NFHS rules without missing a beat, we were able and willing to jump over the Covid hurdles all while maintaining the ANEFO expectation of excellence on the field!

As we enter into 2022 season, we must continue to commit ourselves to being the best high school football officials association in the state. We must all continue to learn, mentor, and grow our knowledge of the rules of this great game of football.  Over the last few years, we have been very successful in recruiting new members and this needs to continue, both the great game of football and our association need this to continue the excellence we are known for delivering.  Navigating through the pandemic has been hard for us all, but especially our new members with zoom meetings and few sub-varsity games to take their new knowledge onto the field.  I’d like to challenge all our veteran members to invest in our new members, mentor and guide them like someone had done for you when you first started. Please RECRUIT, RECRUIT, RECRUIT!  In doing this we can ensure that the best association in the state will be exactly that for another 100 years!

Hopefully we will be putting the uncertainties behind us in 2022, but do not forget how challenging were the past few years.  Because of the strength of this organization we excelled through it all, not many others can say that!  I look forward to seeing you all soon and hope that you, your families and friends are all healthy and safe.

Al Bartolini
ANEFO President 2022
