FIBA 2024 RULE CHANGES
We strongly recommend that referees watch this video, in addition to reading the FIBA rule changes for 2024. The interpretation of the rules can be difficult trying to just read them. The video brings clarity.
As a referee you make a difference – every game you referee helps 25 to 30 people have a safe, enjoyable, and fair game.
Did you know as a minor sport referee in Canada your income is an ‘honorarium’, The CRA suggests you include it as income, but the choice is yours.
The sport is growing and the demand for referees is growing as well. That makes it a great side gig.
Get paid to exercise, how cool is that.
If you are a referee already and want to consider our group, please sign-up using this link. There is no obligation and we will answer your questions and go from there.
In case you haven’t noticed, the interest in playing basketball is growing exponentially in the greater Calgary area. For that matter, it’s become a worldwide phenomenon with young people across the globe discovering the game.
We are very happy to support basketball by ensuring that the game is played safely, fairly and by the book. Most of our officials come from a background of playing, coaching and now refereeing the game. They love the game and want to do their part to ensure it’s played by the rules.
Contact us if you are interested in refereeing, or if you need officials.
