Thanks for your interest in referee ministries for Upward Sports. Each season consists of 8 game days on Saturdays, beginning January 30 thru March 20, 2021. Below are all the resources you need to succeed as a referee (and more coming soon). 

The Rules buttons below are what make different age levels different. However, the full set of principles, rules and procedures will be covered in a short training session. Click below to get started at the Naz. If you'd like to help at Parkview Church please contact Barry, the Parkview director.

Referee Information at the Naz

There are six hours of games spanning about 1 hour each.  Start times are 8:30, 9:35, 10:40, 11:45, 12:50 & 1:55pm. Please be 30 minutes early to your start time to get settled in, check-in with other refs and coordinator, and grab a free beverage from the Naz shack. Games will begin with a prayer from the lead ref, both courts simultaneously. Then team line-ups, etc. 6 periods consist of 6 minutes each, 1 minute breaks and 10 minute half-time. A coordinator(s) will be on-site to keep things rolling along. Refs will help enforce a fairly firm schedule.

We have different divisions of players. Games for 1-2 grade boys/girls will follow Level 2 rules. Games for 3-4 grade boys/girls will follow Level 3 rules. At the Naz, the first three hours of games will be 1-2 girls and 3-4 grade girls. The last three hours of games will only be 3-4 grade boys. 

Our goal is for 2-3 refs on the floor at all times per court: 2 court refs and 1 assistant/backup/trainee. Refs usually take a 3.75 hour time shift and stick with that for the whole season. We would ask each ref to commit to at least 5 game dates. Your help is greatly appreciated!
