Action Wear Orthotics will be attending the MDAO Clinic this Saturday and will be conducting an evaluation and foot scan free for any official that is interested. The foot scan can be turned into a custom foot orthotic.
Orthotics can help eliminate knee, hip, foot, and back pain, along with, shin splints while reducing wear and tear on your feet, ankles, knees, and back.
They will take orders for the orthotics and can deliver them as soon as within a week. Any order placed Saturday will receive $150 OFF. If you are interested in getting a pair of orthotics, AWO asks that you bring the shoes you will be wearing with the orthotics.
We encourage you to go to their website www.actionwearorthotics.com for more information or reach out to them at 248-378-1333.
Dues for the next school year (22-23) can now be paid. Your dues help to pay for items such as HUDL access for film sharing, Arbiter access for the association and resources for communicating with you. Dues are the same as last year which is $50 for one or more sports.

Purchase Officials has been a key partner with the MDAO for many years. Because they were not able to attend our Baseball/Softball opening meeting, they’ve set up some special limited time discount codes.
To take advantage of this offer go to their website and use the discount code(s) below.
https://purchaseofficials.com/
The following two discount codes will expire Sunday April 10.
MDAO10 – Good for 10% off discount eligible products. Purchase Officials Supplies offers free standard shipping in the US for order totals over $100, so this is the best option for larger purchases
MDAOSHIP – Offers free standard shipping. Better choice for smaller orders where waiving the shipping cost is a better value than 10% off
Enter either of these codes at checkout when shopping on www.purchaseofficials.com. Only one discount code is valid per purchase.
