ABOUT US

OUR STORY

Our parent company, Ace 5on5 Sports, shut down in the heart of Covid.  Although our finances dwindled, we hit the lottery of an equally important commodity, TIME!  So we merged that blessing with a business principle: "There is no shortage of remarkable ideas, what's missing is the time to execute them".  

 

Sponsored by coffee, jazz music, and zoom meetings, visions of Ace Assist had the playground of time all to itself with minimal distractions. Following an old adage of: "Never quit your daydream", former Referee Camp Director Andre' "Ace" Thomas, rekindled his zest to positively contribute to the officiating community. We assembled a team, found our chemistry with a slice of frustration and laughter, and went to work on a company name, logo, website, and URL.

FOR OFFICIALS

In the world of sports, officials play a critical role in ensuring the fairness and integrity of games, and a professional resume can help them present themselves as a capable, qualified individual who is up to the task. Crafting a professional, effective resume can be a daunting task, and working with Ace Assist can take the stress and uncertainty out of the process. 

​

FOR ASSIGNORS/COORDINATORS

For many years, having a professional resume has been a requirement for sports officials, both experienced and new. However, while experienced officials are confident in their understanding of the resume concept, upcoming officials may feel unsure and lack confidence. Ace Assist offers a solution by providing professional resume writing, editing, and updating services, as well as a user-friendly online platform for assignors and coordinators to access the profiles of existing staff and potential hires.

OUR TEAM

While attending Hawaii Loa College in Honolulu, Ace discovered a fear of public speaking. He joined Toastmasters, which propelled his audible confidence to become a sports official. His officiating career included 20+ years as a NCAA (W) small college basketball referee, in addition to a high school and college camp director in So. California for 11 years. Ace continues to calibrate his mentoring compass to "assist" the advancement of officials. 

 

In 1995, Ace 5on5 Sports was established in Orange County Ca, initially as a basketball league (hence, Ace 5on5). The client partnerships, naturally fused the business model into unique service components. 
 

  • After leagues, Ace 5on5 zig-zagged into a referee staffing agency, now in four sports.
