With is start in the 1960s, the Norristown Chapter of Football Officials (NCFO) has provided excellent officiating services to a wide variety of youth and PIAA Schools in the PAC 10, Suburban, Ches-Mont, Central and Del Val Leagues for many years. The association has also made significant contributions to charitable organizations, officials in need, and provided scholarship awards to selected student athletes.
Officials instrumental in developing the organization in the beginning included John Kudoba, Nick Gazonas, Jack Junger, Jack Bozarth, Jerry Mirianda, Harry Dawson, Walt Gould, Gus Zeager, Carl Troilo, Joe Ross, Joe Dudas, Ed Konarski and Walt Gould. These Gentlemen are considered the founding fathers of NFOA and are responsible for starting the traditions we follow as a group today.
Significant accomplishments of chapter members include progression to district and state level playoff assignments, college officiating, assignments in the Historic Big 33 game, and even a recent assignment by a former chapter member to Super Bowl LV in Tampa, Florida in 2021.
