Nationwide Referees Camp is a residential camp that takes place in conjunction with the Red Star Basketball Player Camp. The camp offers focused learning and development for officials covering a wide range of topics in a classroom and on-court environment.
Referees will officiate camp games each day and receive feedback on game performance to aid their learning and development.
We will introduce a table officials camp where delegates will have the choice to attend a day session or multiple day sessions.
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.
