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 Winter season. Games begin Dec 16th and end March 15th. Winter league basketball games take place on weekends between 9:00am - 9:00pm 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.
