The outbreak of the coronavirus COVID-19 has impacted people in varying ways on an international scale. Here at Basketball New South Wales, we want to continue to inform our community that we are committed to providing support to our members during these challenging and uncertain times.

As connection is so important during this time, not only has our High Performance department begun to deliver online content but also our Technical Officials team have launched numerous online referee and scoretable courses. 

During the past few weeks our Technical Officials team have been working hard on modifying some of our suitable referee and scoretable courses so that they can be presented online with video sessions via video communications platform “Zoom”.

This transition to online development started with the “Association Advanced Referee Course” that was presented to BNSW’s Junior Development Program members which was broken up into two engaging sessions on the 8th & 9th of April. These sessions were greatly received from the participants as it was a new way to develop and learn key skills for refereeing for when they get back on court along with interacting with other participants from other associations around NSW (Metro & Country) in the one course. 

Following the success of the first online course, the second session that was presented was a  Level 2 Scoretable Course which has been introduced over a number of weeks and has also seen a high volume of participants register from across the state. 

If you are interested in any of the online courses, the next course that will take place is the Advanced Referee Course which will be held on Wednesday 29th & Thursday 30th April along with a Level 1 Scoretable Course being held on Thursday 30th April & Friday 1st May.

For Associations & and interested participants that would like to discuss development and education opportunities and criteria, please email either adam.mcintyre@bnsw.com.au or peter.baxter@bnsw.com.au  to see how we can help you.
