Dear Basketball Grads,
As you close the chapter on your high school basketball career, are you looking for a way to stay connected to the game you love? We all know that the memories made on the court during your high school years are some of the most unforgettable moments of your life.
But here's the exciting part: basketball is more than just players and coaches – referees are a critical part of the game too! Without refs, there is no game. And now that your playing days may be winding down, have you ever considered becoming part of the game in a different way?
Being a basketball referee offers so much more than just staying involved – it’s a chance to make money, stay physically active, and enjoy complete flexibility in your schedule! If you’re looking for a rewarding part-time job that also lets you give back to the sport that gave you so much, this is your chance. Imagine being the referee in a high-stakes provincial final or even stepping up to officiate in front of 10,000 fans at a Sea Bears game. Now that’s a whole new way to make memories and create lifelong friendships!
With your experience as a player, you already possess a solid basketball foundation, making you an ideal candidate to transition into officiating. The Manitoba Association of Basketball Officials (MABO) will provide you with all the education and support you need to succeed on the court. Will it be challenging? Absolutely. But it will also be incredibly rewarding.
MABO offers extensive training, education, and mentoring, providing you with everything you need to succeed in what many consider the best part-time job a former basketball player can have.
If you’re ready to learn more about this exciting opportunity and take your love for the game to the next level, reach out to us at recruiting@maboref.com.
We can’t wait to welcome you to the team!
