🏀 LOVE BASKETBALL? THERE'S ANOTHER WAY TO BE PART OF THE GAME. 🏀
Ever thought about becoming a basketball official?
One of the biggest questions for someone new is probably: “Okay…but how am I actually going to learn how to do this?”
That’s where ABOA Training & Development comes in.
Training with ABOA isn't just a meeting before the season and then good luck out there. We’re building opportunities for officials to learn, get reps, ask questions, make mistakes, receive feedback and grow throughout the year.
And we've been BUSY. 🔥
🎙️ Referee Community Series — learning from voices across the officiating community
🏀 Division 5 Academy — preparing our newest officials before Fall Training
🏆 ABOA Development Camp — live reps, instruction and feedback
📚 Fall Training — 5–6 weeks at two locations beginning September 14
🎥 Whistle Rewind — breaking down plays and situations during the season
🎬 NEW: Clip It — using video and collaboration with coaches to create teaching moments
📝 NFHS Test-Taking Social — coming soon
🚀 And there's much more ahead.
You don't have to already know every rule.
You don't have to have officiating experience.
You just need to be willing to learn, work and get better.
If you love basketball and have ever wondered what it would be like to put on the stripes, this might be your sign. Come learn the game from a completely different perspectivee. Come join a community. Come become an official. 🦓🏀
THE WORK DOESN'T STOP.
Invest in the Official. Invest in the Game.
