Junior Referee Program


Get involved. Learn the game. Earn while you develop. 

The MBA Junior Referee Program gives youth the opportunity to get involved in basketball in a new way while developing valuable officiating, communication and leadership skills. 

The program is designed to introduce new referees to officiating in a supportive environment and provide them with the training, mentorship and game experience they need to grow and become confident officials. 

Our goal is to create a pathway for referees to progress from new Junior Referee ? experienced Junior Referee ? certified/striped official. 

 

Applications now closed. 

 

Training 

All Junior Referees will receive training before officiating games.

Training will include instruction on basketball rules, referee positioning, signals, whistle use, game management, communication and expectations, along with on-court opportunities to put those skills into practice.

New Junior Referees will be required to attend two training sessions before officiating games. Additional training opportunities may also be offered, and new referees are encouraged to attend whenever possible.

Returning Junior Referees will be required to attend one refresher/on-court training session before the season begins.

Completion of the required training is a condition of participating in the MBA Junior Referee Program.

Specific training dates, times and attendance requirements will be provided directly to all Junior Referee applicants.

  

Mentorship & Development 

Training doesn't stop after the clinics. Junior Referees will receive ongoing support and mentorship throughout the season. Experienced referees and mentors will help observe games, provide feedback, and support officials as they build their confidence and skills. 

As referees gain experience, there will also be opportunities to take on more advanced assignments and work toward progressing into certified officiating. 

 

Game Assignments & Pay 

Junior Referees will primarily officiate games within MBA's Recreation League throughout the Fall/Winter season. Assignments will take into consideration the referee's age, experience, availability and level of development. 

Junior Referees are paid per game, with rates increasing based on experience. Additional information about game assignments, scheduling and pay rates will be provided to successful applicants before the season begins.
