Considerations
The number of ABOA officials who have demonstrated proficiencyand success at National Championships at all levels is substantialand as such there are
many worthy candidates
every season.One of the
purposes
of this application process is for every officialto carefully and
objectively
consider what is required of themselves to improve and further their development. Officials atthis level referee for the right reasons with an open and honestperspective. They recognize that officiating is not an individualeffort; rather they accept that professionalism and respect for thegame, good partnering skills, teamwork and leadership are requiredto complement a competitive spirit.
