Community Officials
Some Simple Things to Remember:

• Take your rule book to the games
• When you get to the gym, change your shoes
• Make sure you have your whistle and a clean ref shirt or t-shirt
• Carry some change
• Each ref should met a coach and remind them:
  • To pay you before the game starts, sign their receipt
    (game fees are in the rule book)
  • Get them to fill out the game sheets, which the home team is to provide.
  • Remind them to get a score keeper or timer
• Make sure the clock is set-up
• Teams warm up opposite there bench
• Talk to captains, remind them of good sportsmanship
• First jump ball, teams shoot at the basket they warmed up at
• After that every jump ball is alternating possession
  (arrow points in direction of play)
• Don't be afraid to blow the whistle to call out of bounds, travel and fouls
• Most important don't let the fans, coaches, players upset you
• Confidence comes with experience

What do you do if:

• Only one ref shows up. Get a portion of game fees from each coach
  (see rule book for details)
• Only one team shows up. The coach must pay both officials
• If there is a closed gym, no teams etc. Call the voicemail 988-4851 as soon as possible. Leave a message stating who you are, your phone number, the school you were at, date and time of the games so you can be paid.
• You have any questions. Call the voice mail leave a message with your question, name and phone number.

You will make some good money and after Christmas you can work as much as you want. Good Luck. Have Fun.
