Member of the Month Nominations
Officiating is more than simply calling fouls and violations. The EBOA member of the month program aims to recognize those members who exemplify the qualities of going above and beyond to embody the central aims of the EBOA in keeping the game safe, fair, and fun.
A few examples of how our members do this on a regular basis are:
- Working an additional game because someone is late or missing
- Taking the time to explain to young players why the whistle was blown to call travel, double dribble, or a foul rather than just carrying on
- Offering sincere feedback to a newer official to help in their development
- Answering the call from an assignor at 11 pm to work an 8 am game the next day
- Working hard to instantly integrate feedback into our games
- Attending high-level high school, college, and university games to watch our top referees work
This list is by no means exhaustive. Many actions embody repeated positive qualities of our members. For any questions or further informationa, please contact:
