The Ottawa Valley Board of Approved Basketball Officials (OVBABO) is actively recruiting new basketball officials.   If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a basketball referee, our Fall Registration will take place on Saturday, September 8th, at 9:00 am at the McNabb Community Centre, 180 Percy St. (near the corner of Gladstone and Bronson Avenues).

The registration fee is $30 and covers all training for the season. Training will begin that morning on September 8th and continue for 1-2 evenings weekly in September and October. New officials should be available to work a minimum of 2 games weekly from October to March (especially 4pm games for High School level). A detailed training schedule will be available at the registration meeting.

Candidates must be a minimum of 17 years of age, must be in good physical condition and have a suitable personality to deal with any emotional situations that may occur while officiating a basketball game.   Candidates must commit to attend all training sessions, be prepared to invest in proper referee equipment, and provide their own transportation. Experience in officiating in general and/or participation in the game of basketball as a player, coach or official is preferred.

For more information, please contact Bill Magnus at magnwil@statcan.ca or magnbil@rogers.com.

Ottawa Valley Basketball Referee Rates for 2006-2008
whistle.gif
The current game and travel rates for basketball referee services were established in March 2004 and OVBABO committed to holding the rates for a two year period from September 1, 2004 to August 31, 2006. Since that time, prices for car gas and insurance rose dramatically. As a result, we will be increasing game rates by $3.00 per referee per game as shown in the table attached to this email.
