2023-2024 UIL Fees are Varsity $80, Sub-Varsity $65, Middle School $55 plus Mileage. Mileage will depend on school location and the center point of CTXBOA.
Texas does not have any formal certification process. The Texas Association of Sports Officials (TASO) & University Interscholastic League (UIL) empowers local chapters to train and qualify officials to officiate basketball at the high school and middle school level.
There are two dues, one is the State Dues which are paid directly to TASO and then your local dues which are paid directly to CenTex BOA (CTXBOA). Officials must first register with TASO at https://www.intra-focus.com/MANAGER/registration/step1.cfm. After registering with TASO you will be contacted by CTXBOA to register with us as your local Chapter. Your local dues to CTXBOA are $40 annually. Uniform costs typically include a starter package for approximately $165 that includes a shirt, shoes, pants and whistle. There are many online sites for official supplies. CTXBOA will also have vendors at our first few meetings each season where you can purchase officials’ gear.
In most cases the school district pays you directly. Usually it takes a school about 30 days from the time you worked the game until you get your game fee deposited or check in the mail. Most school districts do pay by direct deposit.
