Female Referee Course Application

FEMALE NUNAWADING REFEREE COURSE
THIS IS AN ALL FEMALE ONLY . THE DATE OF THE GROUP INTERVIEW IS 2-4pm Sunday 23rd April at Nunawading Stadium.

Complete the form below in order to attend one of the next group interviews.

Please be aware that referee training will be at least twice per week (one senior competition shift and one junior competition shift), and must include both the following:
1. At least one senior shift 6.30-11pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Sunday (Sunday has a 10.15pm finish), and
2. Either Friday night 5.00-9.30 or Saturday 12.30-3.30 or Saturday 3.30-7.15 (where playing games can be fixed to avoid missing playing games while in referee training)
The Group Interview allows all applicants the opportunity to attend together and be assessed on their suitability to be a referee. Refereeing requires a level of resilience, confidence and working outside an individual's comfort zones and is not appropriate for anyone to be a referee. When attending, please wear casual gear so you are able to run around on court for a practice game and some referee tests.

If selected into the course, the cost is $100 which covers the cost of a loaned green training shirt, lanyard, whistle, training materials and partially subsidises a mentor for on court training.

Please make sure you have read the FAQ: Becoming A Referee to understand the commitment to the training program in order to produce the best referees and the best basketball for Nunawading.
