Thank you for your interest in officiating basketball with IAABO Board #11. We referee High School, Middle School, CYO, men’s and women’s recreation leagues, in New Castle County Delaware and Cecil County Maryland.

We offer many opportunities to officiate and after becoming certified with us will have the opportunity to officiate just about as much as you would like. We have officials who officiate from 2 to 20 games a week, depending on availability and experience. While we are predominantly a high school official’s board, some of our officials now also officiate college basketball.

To become IAABO certified, prospective candidates must score 86% or more on a written test prepared by our parent organization (The International Association of Approved Basketball Officials), and pass a floor mechanics test administered by our Board. We offer classes to help prospects learn rules, procedures, floor mechanics, and practice for the test. Classes are held two times a week – from mid-September through the end of October. The IAABO Test is given the first Monday in November.

If you would, please forward your home address and phone number or email address to me, laynedrexel@aol.com and I will forward information to you in mid-August.

Thank you for your interest in learning more about the art of officiating. I look forward to meeting you. If you haven’t yet, please check out our new website - www.board11.com  

Sincerely,

Layne Drexel
