Welcome to the Santa Cruz County Basketball Officials Association web site. Beginning in October, we meet on selected Sundays throughout the high school and middle school basketball seasons at Good Shepherd Catholic School (click for directions) in Santa Cruz (click for meeting dates). We officiate games from grades 5 through 12 for high schools in the Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League as well as middle schools in the Santa Cruz County Private Schools Association. The SCCPSA girls games are in the fall, from September through October, and we officiate those games too. Our dues are $70 per year -- for both the fall and winter seasons -- and the pay ranges from $28 to $63 per game. If you would like to join or have any questions, email the SCCBOA or call (831) 475-1126.

MESSAGE BOARD

We now have a way of posting private messages to discuss things that happen during games, etc. You'll need to sign up and follow the steps to receiving permission to join our private group. Our group is called SCCBOA. Just click to be taken to the page, where you can post a message.

To access the page, you first need to set up a Google account. Your email address is your user name and you select a password for your account. Once that is done, you may sign into the group to read and post messages.

You may set up your preferences so you view the messages on the web site or in your email.

Also, you can access a password protected roster of all of the officials in our association by going to the message board. (It is called a password protected roster because only the officials in our association may access it.) Make sure to select Save, and not Open, when given the choice.

The roster contains the following information: name of officials, time up to which you may phone an official, home phone number, work phone number, pager number, cell number and email address.

Email Greg if you have any questions.
