Becoming
an Official
There is an ever-growing
need for qualified officials in the Arizona Region. Those
who are currently officiating in the Region have a variety of backgrounds
that they bring to their jobs as referees and/or scorekeepers. Many
junior players, after officiating during their tournaments as juniors,
desire to become officials. Other officials come from former
players or individuals who would like to stay in touch with the
game and this is just one way to do so.
