BASKETBALL REFEREES WANTED

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.

About us...
Leadonites Basketball is a youth basketball club from Ledbury that is totally staffed by unpaid volunteers. This season we have run teams from Under 12 to Under 17, with special focus on our U13s and U15s teams who play in the Birmingham based Youth Basketball League C.I.C. (YBL).

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.

Any potential candidate can contact us either via email on leadonitesbasketball@gmail.com otherwise through our Facebook page.
