Day 2 by Bence Szilvagyi

Our second day started early with a high-intensity speed work session. It was great to have specifically designed drills for us referees. After a short break, we dove right back into our day with some signal training. Everyone enjoyed this session and took some time to reflect on how they could improve themselves. After practicing, we followed it up with a theory session where we discussed cooperation and post-play. We talked about how to effectively exchange information during the game with the crew, as well as with players and coaches too.

During the post-play discussion, we gained more knowledge on how to handle different situations in the paint. To conclude the practical session, we followed it up with a fitness session, where we trained upper body and core workouts, which everyone enjoyed and felt a little sore too. Lunchtime arrived, granting us a well-deserved longer break. With lunch and some time to rest, we refilled ourselves and got back on the court for a few games. In our first session, we focused on refining our mechanics and signals. The second session focusing on enhancing our communication skills and sharpening our signals towards the table. Following this, we enjoyed a wonderful dinner and then reviewed the clips and situations from our previous session. We will resume our work tomorrow.

We survived the first day of the Survival Camp. The first tricky thing was to arrive at Jezierzyce. Everyone had a long journey, but it only shows how much we all want to be here. We didn’t know each other, but only after a moment we all started feeling like we know each other very well. Connects us love to basketball and passion to refereeing. We started the day with practicing 3PO mechanics. After that we had our first gym session. It was tough, but we made it and deserved to have lunch. The break wasn’t long. We met again to have a lecture, analyze the clips together and make ourselves ready for the first games. Most of us didn’t referee much after the season finished, enjoying the summer break, and it was a good moment to start putting ourselves back on track. Does it sound like a lot has been done that day? Oh… the day is not over yet 😉 We had a dinner which was so delicious. I’m not sure if the food was so great or we just were so super hungry because of having a lot of exercise. After that we met together in our crews and watched the records from our games and cut the clips which we all analyzed together. At midnight we could say that the day is finally over and we can enjoy a good sleep…until the wake up call at 7am the next day. Good night 😉

Julia Angela Karamovic

My name is Julia Angela Karamovic, and I am a 22-year-old sports-involved girl from a small city in Sweden called Borås, but with parents from the Balkans. I had my first referee clinic in May 2016, where I also refereed my first basketball tournament (Basketball Festivalen). Before I developed a passion for basketball, I was a competitive swimmer. However, I substituted the long hours of swimming in the pool for analyzing and enjoying the game of basketball instead. In High School, I finally pursued my passion for becoming a professional referee, and I haven’t looked back. The season 2022-23 was my first season as a second-league women’s and third-league men’s referee in Sweden. This summer was also my first time going to Australia, where I visited my sister playing and had the chance to watch and analyze their way of reffing.

Marcin Linder

My name is Marcin Linder. I am a 35-year-old Pole, living in Warsaw sinceI returned to Poland 2017. Here I am a referee in the Mazovia district officiation regularly the second female and third male leagues and recently quarter-finals of the Polish championship U17, U13. I have two passions, my work and basketball officiating, and I definitely prefer Euroleague over NAB:)
