The Aspire All-Star Officials Camp is a residential camp that takes place in conjunction with Basketball England's Aspire All-Star National Tournament.
Over a 3-day period, referees, table officials and statisticians will officiate up to 6 games improving their mechanics.
The camp offers learning and development for all officials with feedback on game performance in a supportive and encouraging way from our Officiating Coaches.
Referees will have the opportunity to learn and develop their 3PO and 2PO mechanics. Table officials will enhance their craft at scoring, timing, and working the shot clock. Statisticians will be able to test their knowledge of the FIBA Live Stats software and work with new colleagues.
The objective is for officials to return home after the camp as a better referee, table official or statistician.
The Camp supports Basketball England's objective to develop officials and identify talent. It is an opportunity for individuals to showcase their skills and improve their craft as officials.
If you are looking to improve your officiating with aspirations to advance up the pathway then this is the camp for you. A condensed weekend of practical game experience will ensure you improve your individual officiating skills.
