The Benefits of Social Media

YouTube Training Videos

One of the advantges of the new digital era is that there is so much information available online.  Many of you have asked if there are videos available that can be used to help reinforce the concepts covered during the classroom and on-court sessions.

Desert Valley Basketball Officials Association (DVBOA) has some great training resources available on their YouTube page.  There are tons of videos for different game situations and there are many full-length high school level games so you can watch and observe how the officials rotate and their mechanics.  The DVBOA YouTube page is here: https://www.youtube.com/user/DVBOA

Additionally, there are a couple videos made by different organizations that I think are helpful.  Take these videos with a grain of salt though because every organization/association does mechanics a bit differently.  Please do not stray from what has been taught during training.
