Hello Basketball Members,

SNOA Leadership is working vigorously to offers training to all of it's officials prior to the start of the season. We believe proper training is an essential part of getting the best out of our officials by working with them in the classroom and on the basketball court. Help us by taking advantage of these extra referee training sessions that'll be a benefit to yourself, your crew, the players, coaches, and all parties in attendance. We're looking forward to seeing you there.
