Our program spans from the junior domestic competition to the senior competition.
We are proud to have watched a number of referees come through the program and go on to specialise, and also represent Hills Raiders at the higher levels of basketball (including Championship and WABL).
We understand that every person is different, meaning everyone learns at a different pace and in their own ways.
As an association that acts as a centre for positive impact within the community, and one that prides itself on access and inclusion, we don’t impose timeline restrictions on people who are training to become qualified referees at Hills Raiders Basketball.
Green shirt referees/runners are our brand-new ‘runners’. Most participants enter the program at this level after taking the association’s beginners’ course, so knowledge and experience are both likely to be limited.
The runners will be at different stages, ranging from running alongside a qualified referee to refereeing by themselves with a qualified referee on the other end.
The yellow shirts that participants wear are unique to Hills Raiders Basketball’s referee program and the Yellow shirt supports our referees who are currently working towards sitting their Level 1 Referee Course. Achieving Level 1 earns them the prestigious Black and White Referee Status.
These referees have gained more experience and knowledge by furthering their basketball refereeing education with courses and refereeing in the WABL or other tournaments. When on-court, some of these referees are more likely to work with our green shirt referees/runners.
Whether you’re looking to keep up with all the latest in basketball rules or you just need a couple of questions answered, we’re here to help you out.
