As the high school basketball season gets underway this week, the Manitoba Association of Basketball Officials (Manitoba Association of Basketball Officials) would like to remind all registered officials of the opportunity to request an on-court evaluation during the upcoming season.
On-court evaluations are a valuable development tool for officials at every stage of their officiating pathway. Whether you are an experienced official looking to fine-tune specific areas of your game or a newer official focused on building confidence, consistency, and court presence, structured feedback from a certified evaluator can support continued growth and long-term success.
Evaluations focus on key officiating competencies, including positioning, mechanics, rules knowledge, game management, communication, and professionalism. Officials receive constructive feedback designed to reinforce strengths while identifying practical areas for improvement that can be applied immediately in game situations.
In addition to their developmental value, evaluations are an important component of the National Officials Certification Program (NOCP). Officials seeking to advance to higher certification levels are encouraged to plan ahead and ensure they complete the required evaluations during the season.
MABO strongly encourages officials to take advantage of this opportunity as part of their ongoing commitment to development, accountability, and excellence in officiating across Manitoba.
Officials interested in requesting an evaluation are asked to review and complete the evaluation request form available on the MABO website:
