As part of the 2025 Country Championships SA Country Basketball will be expanding the development opportunities for all referees and referee coaches.
There will be an expectation that referees that are playing also help out and referee a couple games a day to ensure we dont overload other referees, we will work around your game times and where possible will not roster directly before or straight after your game the more people that put their hand up the less games everyone has to do.
You will notice in the form we are not asking referees which venue they are available for, the reasoning for this is that referees will be rostered to games in line with their accreditation, experience, and performance.
This will best allow each referee to be assessed and receive feedback on games in line with their accreditation. If you are playing we will check which venue you are playing at and roster accordingly.
Referees will be required to be a minimum Level 1C to referee at the Under 18 Country Championships (some exemptions will be allowed, please make a comment in the notes section a the end of the form). SA Country officials will have priority on matches over metro officials.
In order to be classed as a nominated referee for your associaiton there is a minimum requirement of 5 games to be refereed over a tournament, as per the SA Country Country Championships Rules of Operation (11.4) This can be shared between multiple referees but only 1 payment of $50 will be paid to the association.
Each referee will need to register as a referee within SA Country's Basketball Connect platform - CLICK HERE to register. as well as complete this form for availability.
Referee Uniform Requirements
Referees will be required to wear a referee shirt, black shorts or black pants while they are refereeing. Grey, stripe or green shirts are acceptable.
All Finals Games officials should be in full referee attire (referee shirt, black pants, black socks & black shoes) this is now compulsory.
We will have SA Country Referee shirts available to be purchased at any Country Championships or you can pre order a shirt to be collect at any Country Championships. CLICK HERE to order your shirt online.
