ABOUT US / SERVICES
REFEREE SERVICES:
Can you imagine what basketball games would be like without officials? Even the pickup ball games that you watch on Youtube, or at the local recreation centre have designated rules, or an unofficial official.
We provide referees to junior high school level, senior high school level, club ball, mens and women leagues, as well as post-secondary levels. The majority of our referees are senior referees, and those that are not, are well on their way to reaching this level.
We make every effort to keep our referees informed of the latest developments in terms of rule changes, or issues within the basketball community. It’s safe to say, that they will have the latest information pertaining to how the game is played on court.
In our post pandemic world, we are still dealing with the challenges and uncertainties created by this unfortunate event, and how it has changed how we do some things. We are doing our part to bring back basketball in our communities and would like to see everybody with an interest be able to pick up a ball and get their game on.
Please contact us if you need referees, and we will do our best to accommodate your requests. If you are referee looking for a great community to work with, please contact us to discuss.
See you on the court!
SCHOOLS, CLUBS & ASSOCIATIONS:
Ball & whistle is part of a group of companies that not only provide officials, but also branding, visual content, marketing & advertising services.
The tools we use to create these products include video production, post production services, design services for print & web, commercial photography, both script and creative writing, voice-overs and sound production.
We’ve been doing this for quite some time and have the experience and clients to prove it. If you need some help with a project, or need to get an idea off the ground, we should talk. Check our website for more insights and ideas.
WHAT’S IN THE WORKS:
For anybody following basketball in Canada, it’s quite apparent that the sport is taking off. The number of new leagues, teams and clubs that are springing up across the country has officials scrambling to keep up with the workload. We are definitely experiencing some of these issues in the Calgary area as well, and are working hard to provide some relief to this challenge.
We would also like to keep our Posts busy with reports from games, what’s happening in Calgary with basketball, and anything else that’s basketball news. This and other news can also be found on our social sites, with links at the bottom of each page in our website footer section.
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.
