Minor Official and Scorekeeper
Minor Official and Scorekeeper
Location: Regina, SK (In-Person)
Hours: One evening a week through the season, about two hours.
Pay: $17 an hour
The minor official runs the clock and keeps the score sheet at the scorer's table on a league night. It is the easiest way into working in the gym, it pays $17 an hour, and you can learn it in one evening.
HoopLife Basketball runs the HoopLife Centre at 661 Solomon Cres in Regina: weekly skills sessions, the HoopLife League, camps through every school break, open gym, and Young Stars for our youngest players. We also run basketball clinics for communities right across Canada, and our own training app, with thousands of drills and workouts built by the same coaches who run the Centre. Everything we do is built to make a young player more confident, on the floor and off it.

Questions people ask
Do I need experience?
No. We train you on your first evening and you have a sheet in front of you telling you what to set the clock to for every part of the night.
How old do you have to be?
Sixteen and up. This is a good first job, and it is the one HoopLife role you can do before you are eighteen.
What does it pay?
$17 an hour.
Is scorekeeper the same job as minor official?
Yes. At HoopLife one person keeps the score sheet and runs the clock, and we call that the minor official.
