Officials Registration

REGISTERING AS A MEMBER OF THE NTBOA
To work as a basketball official, you must join a regional association. This allows us to schedule you for games and access to our community of officials!

REGISTERING AS A MEMBER OF THE THSBOA
To be eligible to officiate basketball for UIL member schools, an individual must register with an association, with the UIL, and with a local chapter. The purpose of the THSBOA is to aid in the education and development of officials through local THSBOA chapters

EVALUATED
Get evaluated in order to start working based on your evaluation. Every official will be given a tier placement, which will determine the level of play and/or the officiating level (Referee, U1, U2) they are qualified to officiate.
Registration is currently closed for NTBOA and THSBOA for the upcoming season.
