IS there an age limit to becoming a basketball official? Also is there a license or something of that nature needed?
Thanks,
Jeff

KUDOS!!
 

Nice job, Brad! For anyone who frequents any of the discussion boards, we see a post similiar to this at least once a week. Your site answers all of the FAQs!

Nice job! Well thought out & well written!

Very good. You may want to mention that it is a good idea to start thinking about the sport you wish to offiicate several months before the season actually begins. For example, if you wish to officiate football, June is a good time to start asking questions. You wait until September, it is too late.

I like your state by state and you did a good job with all the political questions about officiating.

I think it is fair to mention not all states use assigning boards or sect. I think a lot of areas use the direct AD or possibly sport specific assinors who are not related to the boards or associations.

My ultimate guess is there are 50 ways of doing it around the country.
