I am under 18 and want to start officiating – where/how?

OVBABO has updated their policy as of the 2017-2018 season to accept members under the age of 18 to join our association.  Officiating is a great way to be or stay involved in basketball, meet new mentors and officials, and make some additional money. 

We will guide your development in association with one of the youth leagues (i.e. Nepean Blue Devils, GCBA, KYBA and/or West Ottawa Basketball – see the links in Links and Partners section) and elementary/club ball games.

It is a great place to start your referee career, learn the fundamentals and gain useful experience as a basketball official

Please contact the OVBABO Training Officer, Frances Enns  at ennsf@hotmail.com  for information on getting involved. We look forward to hearing from you!
