How to Become a Basketball Referee

Over the last few years, the popularity of organized youth and AAU basketball has created a surge in the demand for men and women that choose to become a basketball referee. There is quite simply a lot of work out there. And with teams organizing at younger and younger ages, there seems to be no letting up
Basketball is a great game to officiate because it can be played year round. It many areas, it is equally popular outdoors in the summer as it is indoors during the winter season. Also, it has become almost as popular among the girls as the boys. And because basketball officials must move with the pace of play, refereeing is a fine way to be part of the game and stay fit at the same time.
To become a certified basketball referee, you must achieve a passing grade on a written rules exam. In many cases, you must also pass a live action floor exam to show that you also understand how to apply the rules in a game situation. Because basketball referee training and certification is done on a regional basis, go to the website which handles high school sports in your own state to find information about how to become a basketball referee.
Go to the Choose a State pages in the top navigation to find the links for your own state.
