The 2021 Referee Camp was an event to be remembered! We had over 150 referees take part in one of five courses from Level 1C with 72 attendees through to Level 3.
Basketball SA hosted the 2021 Referee Camp at the Adelaide 36ers Arena. Starting the day most referees ran a fitness test which measured their fitness against the FIBA Beep Test guidelines of 86 males and 66 females.
Each Level then divided into their groups, where they worked through each Module for their course.
Level 1C included four modules; Stopping the game, Basic signals, Calling OoBs, Being Decisive, AoR, Maintaining distance, Pathway, Expectations, Signal Practice, Calling travel, Calling double Dribble, Review Mechanic, Calling fouls, AoS, Heavy Contact Situations, Calling Charges, Communication, Game Administration, Pathway.
Level 1B worked through two modules with on-court mechanics included. Their modules included Signals, Using your Whistle, Preventative Voice, Lead Mechanic, Trail Mechanic, Transition, Calling Violations, Calling fouls, Professionalism, Preventative Voice, Dealing with Conflict, Screens, Post-Play, Game Administration, Reports, Referee Pathway
Level 1A had three modules including on-court mechanics. The modules went through Advanced Communication, Using your whistle, Effective Communication , Mechanics, Game Administration, Assessments, Self-assessment, Calls vs No-calls, Screens and Post-Play, Basic Violations, Advanced Violations, Game Control, Awareness Leadership, Correctable Errors & Special situations, Reporting Procedures
