The course is offered at each of the locations listed below.  The classes run for six weeks or more.  Details will be given at first class.  You may attend alternate sites each week if it is convenient.

The rule book is $25.  The test will be given November 1st at Edward Little HS at 6:00 PM.  The cost to take the test is $50.  If you pass, you must pay the balance of $45 to work the 2009-2010 basketball season (all of our members pay $95 in dues to work the season).
You will be able to work this coming season if you pass the test.  You will work  middle school, JV and freshman HS both boys and girls games.
 The assigner, Larry LaRochelle will assign games to you based on your level readiness.

If you become a member, will be required to attend a mechanics session in December and a session in January as well as a business meeting in the spring.


We would like to limit the first two classes to new and second year officials.  The vets could come in after that. 

Test for prospective officials will be given on November 1st at EL at 6:00 PM.  Any prospective official that does not pass, will be allowed to retake with the veterans on Sunday, November 29th.  Make up for veterans will be on Monday the 30th.

A maximum of one technical foul shall be charged directly to the head coach when a participant wears an illegal jersey, illegal pants/skirt or an illegal number.

The uniform section will be reorganized to separate the topics by articles and adjust the language to reflect current industry standards/terminology.

A portion of the first sentence of the ‘incidental contact’ definition will be removed to clarify that a foul should be ruled when displacement occurs while opponents attempt to secure a loose ball.

 10.5 

This section will be reorganized for better understanding and clarity
