We are saying Goodbye

We are saying Goodbye to a good friend, referee, coach and instructor – Werner Blanke.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend Werner. He will be truly missed.

People knew and liked him amongst others, because he was the first and only one who showed “yellow cards” in basketball instead of giving technical fouls.

Interview with Werner Blanke

A person that departs from this earth never truly leaves, for they are still alive in our hearts and minds, through us, they live on.

Academic survey by PinYu

Dear Campers please find below small request from your colleague:

Hi all,

This academic survey is part of my master project trying to analyze the importance of training program towards sports officials. As Referee.pl Training Camp is the best training program I have ever attended, I am likely to collect your feedback as possible as I can to see to what extent the camp have meet yours demands on the court in terms of officiating skills or something like that. This questionnaire could be completed less than 2 minutes by your kind participation. You can easily access the link online as below which is created via Google Drive and answer the questions based on your experience during the camp this year as well as your own refereeing career.

Here is the link of the questionnaire

Thanks once again and really really appreciate for your kind help.

Best wishes

Refereemindset.pl and referee.pl together for basketball referees

Our camp is taking place from 12 years already and the website exists same long. We are for you trying to help to develop your officiating. In the meantime we have got in touch with another website, which exists for the very same purpose, just serving different services. I would like to introduce the supporters of referee.pl to the very interesting initiative – which is done by FIBA referee – Peter Papp from Hungary – Referee Mindset (refereemindset.com). We think the cooperation will leverage our both possibilities to reach you and keep the right pace of information since we complete each other. Everything to help increase level of officiating.
