Do You Want To Be A Referee?
Now is the time for adults and youths to sign up to become a referee for the upcoming Summer season. Games begin the last week of June. Summer and winter league basketball games take place in local Centreville/Clifton area gyms.
Register as volunteer and select REFEREE as your desired position. New officials must be 13 by the time the season begins Even though you are registering as a volunteer, you will be paid for games. Officiating is a nice way to refine your knowledge of the game while earning some cash.
All first, second, and third year officials are required to attend the mandatory training.
Contact Frank McNulty, SYA Referee Commissioner (fmcnulty1@verizon.net) or Kristi Purdy, SYA Referee Scheduler (purdyks@icloud.com) if you have any questions.
