Tacoma basketball board
Training Outline
1. GENERAL INFORMATION: The Tacoma Basketball Board Training Program does not charge a fee
to train. However, every participant must complete a comprehensive training course designed to ensure
that you are given the tools necessary to control your game. Each step of your training is divided into
three groups beginning from new officials, apprentices and transfers. We will provide the roots of basic
basketball fundamentals, on-court performance, and communication skills to perform as a professional
basketball official. Additional emphasis is placed on behavioral/coaching issues, court management,
communicating with your partner, “stay-in-the game” techniques and philosophy.
2. CONCEPT: There will always be a need for quality basketball officials. We are charged with the
responsibility of developing, certifying, and assigning basketball officials thru out the Pierce County area
and surrounding community. Although this training is not a difficult one once it starts, it’s staying on
track, sacrificing personal time, pay issues, and other conflicts that may interfere and prevent you from
completing your training.
3. TRAINING STAFF DUTY DESCRIPTION:
A. Coordinator: Responsible for organizing and retaining training sites, staff works schedules, and
assignments; and for notifying all parties involved, two weeks in advance, detailing events from June –
August.

during your training. Keep in mind that your training record will document your strengths and weaknesses. The

meet your goal. Please view the schedule listed below.
