Officials play an important role in the GCBA and every basketball organization across this country. Without their commitment, quick thinking and tough calls the sport of basketball would not have become the sport we love!
The GCBA is committed to training and supporting all of our 80-100 active game officials and we provide many clinics throughout the season to help improve the quality of their officiating (referees, timers, scorers) within the organization. We also run a well established and fully developed
Junior Referee Program to encourage everyone 12 years and older to get involved in officiating. Not only can youth earn extra money while staying active but they gain valuable skills like poise, judgment, quick decision making and confidence.
NEW Referee candidates are identified
on the GCBA Registration Forms by circling
YES in the
Player Information Section regarding Referees.Training Sessions take place in September each year.
Referee Training and Registration packages are mailed out to
all Returning Referees and
new Referee Candidates the first week of September.
