Tyros

At The Tyros, we believe officiating is a great way for people who, “love the game” to stay involved for life. Officials have a direct, positive influence on the lives of participants by making the game more safe and fair. Through their contributions to the game, officials directly assist in the success of organized sports, and they join a brotherhood of individuals who share a common bond.

Game officials have a difficult job, and they should be fully prepared for success each time they step on the field or court. A uniform, standardized approach to the training and development of officials needs to be created. Better officiating leads to better sports, which leads to a better experience for all, especially our youth. Developing this life skill not only creates better officials, but it enables a more confident, assertive and communicative official.

The Tyros is a multi-facetted web application consisting of an online community and social messaging system. It also contains a training and development tool. All of these tools are specific to sports officials.

Our system provides a streamlined and efficient way for referees to interact, share information, train, develop and mentor other officials.

The Tyros is a technology that will create a standardized and efficient approach for the way referees educate, communicate and develop their skills together.
