The second session of one of the most popular basketball referees camp in the world organized by Jakub Zamojski, international official, will take place this year in Radom. City Radom is very actively helping to develop interest in basketball with a great success. In Radom we can cheer for the top league team, current vice champion of Poland and Polish Cup winner from season 2015/2016 – Rosa Radom.

Radom is a city in east-central Poland with 219,703 inhabitants (2013). It is located 100 kilometers (62 miles) south of Poland’s capital, Warsaw, on the Mleczna River, in (as of 1999) the Masovian Voivodship, having previously been the capital of Radom Voivodship (1975–1998). Despite being part of the Masovian Voivodship, the city historically belongs to Lesser Poland. For centuries, Radom was part of the Sandomierz Voivodship of the Kingdom of Poland and the later Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It was an important center of administration, having served as seat of the Crown Council. The Pact of Vilnius and Radom was signed there in 1401, and the Nihil novi and Łaski’s Statute were adopted by the Sejm at Radom’s Royal Castle in 1505. In 1976, it was a center of anti-Communist street protests.

The city is home to the biennial Radom Air Show, the largest and best-attended air show in Poland, held during the last weekend of August. “Radom” is also the popular unofficial name for a semiautomatic 9 mm Para pistol of Polish design (the Model 35/ViS-35) which was produced from 1935 to 1944 at the national arsenal located in the city. The Łucznik Arms Factory (still located in Radom) continues to produce modern military firearms.
The international Radom Jazz Festival and the International Gombrowicz Theater Festival are held in the city.

Welcome to Radom!!

When I were young, I represent Hong Kong U16 national basketball team and University Team. After that, I try to participated in 3 roles in basketball which are Referee, Player and Coach. After a period of time, I found I have more interest in officiating as I like a challenging role. Moreover, I want to contribute myself to keep my loved sport to play under fair.

I start officiating 1996 and get my FIBA license 2006.

As Hong Kong Basketball Association (HKBA) – Referee Committee since 2005, major duties to promote the latest officiating skills and knowledge, referee training and assessment.

Mostly officiating in Hong Kong and also getting nominations from FIBA, FIBA Asia. The 1st time to officiate in Europe is 2009 FIBA U20 Women (Div A) Europe Championship in Poland. The 2nd time is 2013 FIBA U19 Women World Championship in Lithuania. Because of this camp, this is the 3rd time to come Europe about officiating. For 2016, I had been going to Dubai for GCC Men Club Championship on May. Previously also officiating in NBA Summer League, FIBA Asia Championship Men and Women, Asia Games, Arab Games, FIBA Asia Referee Camp, …etc
I would like to take this opportunity thousand thanks to FIBA, FIBA Asia and HKBA!!

Actually, I love to actively improve my officiating in all areas and want to fully contribute more to the world basketball which is my target of life. As I heard that this is the best camp in the world with very well experiences world instructors. That’s why I try my best to come to learn and practice this year. I will try my best to apply what all I learn in future championship in order to contribute to my loved basketball as the number one world sport!

Officiating is about teamwork. I enjoy to work with different colleagues and make friends all over the world. I think that Referees are not only teammates during on the court but also heart to heart friendship off the court which is important for life and basketball.

For my family, my wife is also FIBA referee. We have a baby girl named Scarlett now is 1.5 year old and she loves ball very much. So my life is also surrounded by basketball. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you my wife for the fully supporting so that I can come to this camp.

As every year at the REFEREE.pL we have a well-represented group from Poland. Please see a few words about Michal Pogon, as a first introduction to our polish friends.

Michal is a physiotherapist in health care center in Cracow. He has referee license since 2007. Currently he officiates in Poland second and first division from two years.
This is his second time at REFEREE.PL camp.

The first time for Michal was two years ago in Walbrzych. Back then he learned a lot and gained international experience, that why he decided to participate this year as well. He was also attending many times the SCANIA CUP in 2013, 2014 and 2016.

Michal: My adventure with basketball has started when I was a child as I was player for three years in my home town – Bochnia. When I finished my short carrier I decided to see how it is to be on the other side… and then I became a referee. And now the officiating is my lifestyle, I’m looking forward every Saturday to “game time” 🙂

Very interesting personality, connected to our camp from many years, big sport passionate, who is passing his love to basketball to young team from his country, who is now coming with him to the camp, five people together. Please see the story of Patrick below.

Well just in some words… but for my age, plenty of stories and lots of experience ☺

I started to be a referee season 1989/90, and did year by year my C-B-A license in Luxemburg, in 2005, in Riga I passed the FIBA license.

Former player, but not so successful, we dropped down from top league to second league, I also did coach for 2 seasons a youth team (Minis) early 1990’s.

I go to international tournaments, camps, ex. Wonderful Copenhagen Cup, where all started in 1998, followed by Zehlendorfer Pfingstturnier in Berlin, CanDo Basketball Camp in UK and for 12 years in a row Scania Cup in Sodertalje, and many others in Sweden, Denmark, Czech Republic, and after 2009/10/13/14 I participate at the REFEREE.PL camp now for the 5th time.

Camps are very important for young referee, but also for “experienced” to prepare the season and to stay tuned. Like the European youth championships, where all FIBA referees participate all summer (I will be in Sofia for the U16 men, division B).

To be a referee is not always easy, but I would not change, if somebody would ask me, if I would do the same again. Now when I see, my career goes slowly to the end, and I take already a small look back, I visited so many places and countries, probably I would never have visited, but there are still some missing on my map ☺. In my mobile phone “facebook-whatsup-skype-instagram” or similar, I have at least one number in every country I visited or from friends involved in basketball, as referee, coach, player… All this nobody can steal away, and there are so many stories to tell or perhaps write down once…

In Luxemburg I am in the top league for more or less 20 years, and I am the head of the referees and represent the referees at the federations board. I am also part of our instructors and help to organize the clinics and the different referee degrees. I also make the nominations for the referees for all leagues, except the top leagues, because I’m involved.

In private, I work for the government on court at the commercial department (bankruptcies and commercial affairs). I run 10K races and half-marathons all over the world, so for 2016, I have Dublin, Lisbon and Las Vegas on the list. Other hobbies are fishing, where I participated in 2015 and 2016 at the world championships, (where the result for us was not so important, because we are not professionals, but like in refereeing, got lots of experience and new friendship).

Like all the years, I do not travel alone to the camps, so for this year’s camp in Romania, we will be a groups of 5 referees from our small country, so 5 out of ca 120 active referees, one woman and 4 men.

It’s a perfect mixed group, within 3 more or less experienced referees, Pit, Tom (who missed only a few Kuba camps) and me from the TOTAL League in Luxemburg, one very potential young lady (Cathy), who passed the step to the 2nd league men/TOTAL league woman early this year, and one rookie (Michaijl) who only starts his 4th season, but already did some games in the Top League women last season. This camp is the perfect preparation to start into the new season.

Thank you Paddy and the team!!
