west ottawa basketball referee program
The West Ottawa Basketball Association is currently seeking referees for the upcoming season! We are looking for referees of all levels between the ages of 15 to 55 and over to officiate games in all divisions. As a West Ottawa Basketball referee, you will receive free training, a referee uniform, and a whistle. Compensation per game is based on experience. Our team of referees is mentored by experienced referees with over 25 years of experience.
Applicants should have a strong knowledge of basketball and will participate in mandatory in-class and on-floor training, which will take place in September and October, conducted by one of our senior referees. Additional training sessions will be provided throughout the season, including 'shadowing sessions' where younger referees are paired with experienced referees during games. The West Ottawa Basketball Association follows FIBA basketball rules with age-based modifications for recreational games. We accommodate referees who are also players or coaches by working around their schedules. Referees are required to set their availability a week ahead of time through our website.
