If you are a high school student and are interested in officiating any of our recreational basketball games, please email David Perry ([email protected]), LYBA’s Officials Coordinator, even if you have been an official in the past for LYBA. You will need to complete an approved concussion information course and submit your certificate of completion. A course link can be found on the Coaches Corner tab of the website.
If you are interested in keeping the books or being a clock operator, LYBA hires for those positions also. Generally, students need to be a Freshman or above. Attendance at the training meeting is required.
LYBA officials and other workers will complete an availability spreadsheet and we will be scheduled accordingly about 1-2 weeks in advance. Ability will be factored as well. Typically, a certified OHSSA official will be assigned to work games with our Student Officials. Student Officials will generally work games for the lower grades, 3rd – 5th. Most games are on Saturday and Sunday. Paychecks are mailed weekly, and should be received within a week of a game worked.
