Discover the world of R&A Officials and how we are ~ Making

Royals & Associates began with the love of American Football at a young age. As Darryl Royal matured he gained an appreciation deeper for all aspects of the sport and then the benefits of sports in general. Eventually, after playing for years, becoming a Hall of Famer for the Warriors AC, Metro Chiefs & Metro Dogs of Washington D.C. After 30+ years of playing, and two years coaching, Darryl moved on to officiating. For the past 12 years his passion for  seeing the game played well and right as fueled his initiative to set and build a standard of "quality" officiating that makes for the best competitions. We wanted to create a business that would allow us the opportunity to consult with others in the industry that are seeking to utilize what we offer as well as train current and future officials to optimize their talent and opportunities in the world of athletics. La Donna Royal joined her husband in these endeavors, not only as support but as an Official and Certified Evaluator. From Washington DC to Florida, Pop Warner to ESPN, the experience and knowledge we have to share is available to you.
