Referee.pl Camp 2015

As a part of our project for meeting the campes, please meet another referee that will join our camp this year – Marli Kasemi from Albania.

We keep our fingers crossed that this year he will be there from the beginning 🙂

Marli about himself

I was born in Vlore, a sea side city in the south of Albania and now I live in Tirana, the capital. 

I studied Economy Finance and work as Fraud Analyst in a telecommunication company. 

I started my officiating career in 2007 and now I officiate in the 1st League man and women.

Have been in different camps abroad, this is my second time in Kuba's camp and have been twice in Alan's camp, also planned to go this year.

A month ago I was in my highest level of the career because my federation has chosen me as a potential candidate for FIBA to participate in the clinic for candidates held in Sarajevo, Bosnia. 

I love going in camps, because it helps a lot not only in the mentality that I use in officiating but also in my way of living the life. 

Love traveling and meeting new people with different cultures. 

Kuba's camp is a great opportunity for young referees to develop their skills in all part of the basketball life. 

Last year I did the impossible to be in the camp and I traveled all around Europe with auto stops, trains and buses because I lost my direct flight and no other possibilities to catch the camp on time. For sure this means loving what I do and will do everything again and again to achieve my dreams.

Can’t wait to see you again

All the best from Albania

I would like now to present a “referee CV” of a women from Poland, who attended multiple camps in Europe and her career is growing over the years quite fast – Ewa Matuszewska.

Ewa: Basketball is in my life since I can remember. First, I was a player, but my „big heart” was not enough to make „big career”. Moreover many injuries happened to me, so one day I decided to stop playing. It was in 2008 when officiating came as a possibility to stay engaged with basketball. At the beginning I didn’t want to take refereeing seriously. But first time when I felt adrenaline on the court I knew that it was it. Now I am officiating Top Woman Division and 2nd Man Division in my country. I hope it is not my last word 🙂

Privately I am cheerful and friendly person. I graduated Psychology at University of Gdansk and working as a Manager in Marketing Agency. I interested in healthy live style and cultivate many kinds of sports, especially cross fit, running, sailing and skiing. But my favorite one is for sure sleeping 🙂

I was at Referee.pl camp three times and for me this is the best opportunity to make progress. Studying new things and officiating is one big part of this camp. But meeting people from different countries, making friendship for years and having fun is the second part which is even more important to me because this camp taught me that making good calls is important, if you want to be good referee.; but if you want to be the best referee you must start from being a good human and never forget that officiating is not everything what you have in your life.
