The moment you put the referee T-shirt on you are a referee for all your life! – Day 2
Today the day has started very early for the referees, as 7.15 they went for jogging lead by Bartek Puzon. Seems like it was very refreshing as some of them wanted to run even more, but the first lecture was at 9.00.
The basketball gym in Walbrzych is new and pretty impressive. We had their first meeting of the day, an hour lasting workshop from the 3-men mechanic done by Kuba, together with Piotr Pastusiak and Darek Zapolski. After we moved to our lecture room to listen to the NBA VP of Development Department. Based on NBA Summer Camp training videos George was showing us the importance of the court presence, as he said: Every time you step on the court you are there to service the game. According to him the model of the officiating attitude shall be: Game first, my partner second and I am third. Besides it is worth to remember for not to be a “ball watcher”.
Observation criteria for the mechanics was the topic covered by Mr Buluc from Euroleague. We had an open discussion about how to behave on the line referee – observer. And were answering the questions: Do you feel comfortable when there is an observer in your game? What do you expect from the observer? How do you benefit after having a valuable feedback?
In the same time Kuba was having some short adventure in another venue, but this maybe he will tell you once… In the same time Daniel Hierrezuelo joined us and he was conducting 2 workshop motivation sessions, which were great. Dani said that we shall treat refereeing as our lifestyle. And the moment you put your officiating shirt on, makes you a referee for all your life! We could hear Dani’s story as a referee and believe me knowing this you can be sure that any dream in your life can happen… maybe just not flying like a bird.
Now something that everyone was waiting for started at 16.00. our tournament games!! Referees were using the equipment with the ear phones and microphone, very similar to what football referees are using. And all the crew was connected with the observer as well. This is a good practice to get an instant feedback during the game. And the games were very good level, so also many difficult situations. At the top polish teams are playing in this tournament.
At the evening feedback we could hear short summary from all the instructors and George made us a question to think about while putting the head to the pillow: Have you given today your maximum on the court? With this now cannot wait for the next day to prove even more that refereeing is my life

The 11th edition of REFEREE.PL it is on!
Hi all. It is Marta here. For the first time in Walbrzych and for the eleventh year in a row I am pleased to be a part of the REFEREE.PL camp organized by Kuba Zamojski. And I am happy to share with you the summary of the day seen by the eyes of an inside person. We will be giving you some news every day, so you could be a part of the event in a way or in case of participants have the nice diary for the memory of the camp 🙂
Today was the first day of the camp, we have started in the afternoon with the intro and welcome speech from Kuba which was followed by the presentation of our instructor from NBA – George Toliver. George literally hit us with the topic talking about the conflict resolution and responding skills on the court. We were explained how we are getting affected by the emotions during the game and how to work out a diplomatic resolution of taught situations which happens often on the line between referee and coach. How to respond and not initiate in such situations and what is the answer for the certain behavior of the coach, like: statement, question and baiting. We were illustrating the situations while role play, that brought some laugh to the audience.
Then Peter Strikwerda explained us the technical side of using the Longomatch – the software that is very helpful to cut and manage the clips. And after, being lead by Kuba, we were discussing the sets of clips that are available at the website and people were commenting, so we could all share the opinion, and also our remote instructor Jose Anibal Carrion was giving his opinion on those ones. Greeting for you Jose.
Traditionally we had the introduction part, where all the participants could say something about themselves to the group, so we have some people that came again to the camp and they know each other also from many different events, but we have some people that are new to REFEREE.PL and we have chance now to make new friends.
All in all, George put the standard for the camp and high expectations for the next day starting games. So all the campers now cannot wait for the nominations. And by the way, we have a great tournament to officiate, because four teams from polish top league just happened to play here and the games will be super interesting. Coming up next tomorrow.
