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. We officiate games from grades 3 through 12 for schools in the Santa
Cruz Coast Athletic League as well as 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 this year
(there are no dues for the fall middle school season) because we did not purchase
rules books. Pay ranges from $33 to
$68 per game. If you would like to join or have any questions,
email the SCCBOA or call (831)
252-1197.

As
mandated by the CIF, all officials must show proof of general
liability insurance before they may officiate. Officials who have not
shown proof by November 1 will have it purchased for them and the cost
deducted from their wages. You may purchase insurance online from
NASO
or the NFHS.
Officials must present documentation to show proof of liability
insurance. You will not be
assigned any games until you have submitted proof of liability insurance.
If
you are a member of the SCCBOA you need to take the 25-minute NFHS course
Concussion
in Sports -- What You Need To Know
once every two years. This is a required course as part
of your training. You will not be assigned any games until you have
turned in your completion certificate that you may print at the
conclusion of the course. As an alternative, you may take the CDC course
Heads
Up -- Concussion
in Youth Sports. The information is actually better but the
presentation borders on comical because the acting is so bad and the
script is just as bad. Also, at 50 minutes, it's twice as long. But, as
I said, the information is more user-friendly and makes more sense. I
just don't think it's worth the extra 25 minutes. In the end, though,
it's all common sense. For some reason the NFHS course gives the test
before the lessons (as well as after) but I still nailed 11 out of 11.
You can, too. Believe me. It's not that difficult.

The
CDC has an excellent
web
site on concussion in sports as well as a
card
that gives signs and symptoms of a concussion and an appropriate action
plan.
