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 or earn some extra money and this is one way to do so.
