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 humbled and honored to serve as your President of the Association of New England Football Officials.  As we approach the 2023 season, I ask all of the membership to commit to being the best officials in the state of Massachusetts. I would encourage all officials to further your knowledge of the rules, attend our meetings, ask questions, stay in top physical condition and mentor and guide our new officials. We also must actively recruit officials for the future of High School Football. Finally, I would urge all members to register with the MIAA by October 1, 2023 so officials can be eligible to work the Statewide High School Football Tournament.

I look forward to seeing you all at our first meeting and best wishes for a healthy and successful 2023 Football season

Yours in football,

Tim Hooton
ANEFO President 2023
