5 Reasons to Become an SABOA Official

#1 STAY ACTIVE
Being an official gives you the opportunity to engage in physical activity. Officials can work several nights a week which will keep you active and moving on the court.

#2 GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
Officiating is a great way to give back to the community.  Our officials provide a service to schools and the players on school teams. Members also volunteer their time at community events.

#3 LOVE FOR THE GAME
Most officials played basketball at some level in their lives and are passionate about the game. Being an official will keep you involved in the game you love and close to the action.

#4 EARN EXTRA MONEY
Need a flexible, part-time hustle? Officiating is a great way to help pay your way through school and to earn extra income. ​

#5 COMMUNITY & FELLOWSHIP
Officiating gives you the chance to meet a diverse group of people who you may not meet otherwise. On and off the court, officials support each other and build long-lasting friendships.
