We’re proud of all of our officials within Basketball Northern Ireland. We strive to help and grow referee’s and table officials across the country so that games can be played in the best possible way.
We would encourage all players, clubs, coaches and anyone else connected with basketball to join us in thanking our officials who make our sport happen.
Some top tips for supporting our officials are this:
- Remember becoming an official is a journey
- Officials vary in experience, some are seasoned while others are just starting their journey
- Actions have consequences. Don’t tolerate abusive, offensive or insulting language and/or behaviour towards our officials
- Join our officiating team. Look out for courses in refereeing or table officiating to help improve Basketball in Northern Ireland
