Leadonites Basketball is trying to find a Basketball England Level 2 qualified referee who is willing to travel to Ledbury to officiate U13, U15 and U17 Youth Basketball League C.I.C. matches on Saturdays for the 2018/19 season that starts in September.
Alternatively, if you, or someone you know, would be prepared to undertake the training course then please contact us. Ideally this would be a current Level 1 qualified referee or otherwise an adult player who would be willing to undertake the Level 2 course. If interested the Leadonites Basketball would fund the course fee. ***
Please read on...
*** The Level 2 course requires four modules to be completed (each module is covered in a day's attendance at a course) and costs a total of £120.00, however, Leadonites Basketball would be prepared to pay the course fee for any candidate who would commit to refereeing our home matches for a season; we would also pay the standard referee's match fee plus travel expenses.
Any potential candidate can contact us either via email on leadonitesbasketball@gmail.com otherwise through our Facebook page.

For next season we plan a small expansion by entering our U17 team into the YBL as well as our U13 and U15 teams. As I'm sure you are aware, Herefordshire is something of a backwater when it comes to basketball with a very small history of the sport and virtually no culture of the game and this leads us to our most pressing problem for the 2018/19 season; namely a lack of Basketball England Level 2 qualified referees.
For our YBL matches we must have a minimum pairing of one Level 2 and one Level 1 referee and both must be independent of our club. For this season we have used two referees from Worcester for our home matches, however, the Level 2 referee is due to return home to the Czech Republic at the end of this season. So if anyone knows of a Basketball England Level 2 referee (or even a Level 1), who would be willing to travel to Ledbury to referee Saturday matches please share this post with them.
