If you have less than one full season of high school officiating experience then you will be considered an "applicant." All first year officials are known as applicants.
Our applicant program is a blend of classroom and game-based learning that lasts approximately ten weeks and is intended to get you ready to referee junior varsity high school basketball.

Here are the steps you must complete if you are interested in officiating. - Send our interpreter an email with all of your contact information to confirm your attendance in the class.
- Bring two things to the class the first time they meet:
- A completed membership application form
- A check in the amount of $115 made out to CBOA
Without these registrations, you will not be allowed to officiate any of the training games. Please take care of this on the first night.
We look forward to meeting you and to getting you started on what is a fun, challenging and engaging avocation. |
