CYA Basketball uses volunteer referees to officiate games in the Winter program for Grades 2-8. Volunteers can be either adults or youth aged 13 and above. Games generally begin mid December.
CYA conducts a training program prior to the start of the Winter season. New referees and those that officiated 2nd-4th grade last year must attend two classes. The first class was held on Saturday, October 22nd from 9:30 -11:30 at Lees Corner ES.
The second class for new referees and those that officiated grades 2-4 last year will be held on Saturday, November 5th from 10-12 at Lees Corner ES. All other officials must attend the refresher class on November 5th from 2-4 at Lees Corner ES.
Volunteer referees are paid between $10-$25 per game, depending upon experience and the age level of those playing in the game. Whistles and uniform shirts will be provided. Experienced officials are also needed for our mentoring program and will be paid to work with our newer referees.
If you have any questions please contact the Referee Coordinator, Monica Despins, at despinsm@yahoo.com.
NOTE: Games for grades 9-12 (Boys and Girls) are officiated by semi-professional referees provided by the Cardinal Basktball Officiating Association.
