Varsity basketball game assignments for the Metro Conference have begun to be made and with that comes the tipoff organizational meeting for the 2016-17 season for Nebraska Basketball Officials. This fall’s meeting is scheduled at the Omaha Burke High School Lecture Hall tomorrow night, September 7, at 6:30 p.m.
All basketball officials wanting to work in the Metro Conference this school year, both lower level and varsity, are encouraged to attend. Officials must be registered and have their annual dues paid to be considered for scheduling. Annual dues will remain at $50 and includes being registered with Arbiter, NBO’s online scheduling system.
Officials working varsity contests in the Metro Conference will need to be registered with the Nebraska School Activities Association ($45 fee) and the NBO ($50 dues). No additional fees will be charged by NBO. Officials do not need to pay additional fees or be registered with the Nebraska High School Officials Association (NHSOA) to work lower level or varsity Metro contests.
The meeting at Omaha Burke will last approximately one hour with Nebraska Basketball Officials’ assignor Al Monaco going over guidelines and expectations for the 2016-17 season. Lower Level NBO assignor Justin Albrecht will also be in attendance. Questions will be answered. NBO is also once again assigning the Creighton Prep Varsity Fall League, which gets under way Saturday, Sept. 17 and continues for five weeks. NBO will be conducting a 3-person clinic on Saturday, Sept. 17. Limited spaces are available for the clinic.
Officials wishing to write checks for their dues may do so to Nebraska Basketball Officials. Receipts will also be available for those wishing to pay with cash. The registration form is attached. You can print it, fill it out, and bring it to the meeting to save time.
