Thanks for your interest in joining the Fort Worth Basketball Officials Association (FWBOA), a chapter of the Texas High School Basketball Officials Association (THSBOA). Our association provides basketball officials for school sanctioned games in Tarrant County and the surrounding western and southern areas. Our assignors schedule games based on your experience and availability, the latter of which you will control online via the ArbiterSports website, which is used to assign you games. You are paid by the school district at state-established rates.
If you are brand new to officiating (or have only a few years of experience), we hold free weekly classes in September and October to prepare you for the season, including rules, mechanics, administration, and the required uniform. If you are an experienced official new to the area, our chapter camp will be held in early September, and is the best way to learn from experienced officials and get evaluated by our assignors.

1. Register with THSBOA – Click this link and complete their registration form. If you already have an ArbiterSports account, login before starting the registration process.
