Our aim is to grow, develop and promote the game by supporting our members, stakeholders and the basketball family in general.

The role of the technical officials is to ensure the game is played in a fair and safe manner and within the rules. Refereeing is the most physical active as they are on-court and “call” the game. Other technical officials perform various roles on the scoretable and statistics and further information about each role is given below.

Basketball NSW (BNSW) has a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Regional Academies of Sport (NSW) Incorporated (RASi) that sees it “endorse” eight Regional Academies that currently conduct basketball development programs to identified athletes and coaches.
Once in an academy program, athletes have access to high level coaching, plus a range of sport education and personal development programs.
The goal of the Academies is to enhance opportunities to athletes for selection into state squads and state teams/squads and entry into BNSW Programs and higher order steps in the BNSW pathway.
