RCCFO is the Rochester Chapter of Certified Football Officials.

The RCCFO was founded in 1925 and serves varsity high school (New York State Section 5), sub-varsity and youth football in Rochester, New York and surrounding areas of Monroe, Orleans, Genesee, Livingston, Wyoming, Allegany, and Steuben counties.

Our membership is comprised of approximately 150 officials in Active, Senior Associate, Associate and Candidate status, and we welcome new candidates and transfers.

We encourage those with an interest in football officiating to join our chapter.  We offer a thorough training and mentoring program leading to State certification.  First year officials begin officiating sub-varsity (JV, Frosh, Modified and Youth) games with the support of experienced officials.  First, second and third year officials are assigned a seasoned veteran as a 'Big Brother/Mentor' to interact with throughout the season via one-on-one meetings, phone conversations, and by working scrimmages and games together.

Our Chapter has produced outstanding officials, many who have advanced to and currently work in Division 1, the United Football League and the NFL.  These men have worked state championships, college bowl games and NFL playoffs, including an NFC Championship.  They are enshrined in our local Section V and various college Halls of Fame. 

Your fellow officials can become your friends for life.  A tremendous bond is developed between officials as they work together for the common good and can only be fully explained after you've experienced it.  The first step to a successful officiating career can start right here with us.  Join us!
