The last day of the camp was very special. It was a mixture of: I am tired, but I don’t want to go home, time passed so fast, and I want to start my season asap and apply what I have learned, I am on fire.

The last day of the camp was very special. It was a mixture of: I am tired, but I don’t want to go home, time passed so fast, and I want to start my season asap and apply what I have learned, I am on fire.

As promised we started the day with the morning feedback from the previous day. Session was conducted by Costas, Sasha, Kuba, and all instructors had a lot to share. All in the name of your further development. We hear a lot of: We will see some of you on FIBA games. Potential, but work, work, work, and guess what: Consistency!!
Costas gave us a taste of rule changes coming in next season and also talked us through the understanding more the handshake with coaches, how to work with them, talk to them and make it a dialogue, as the common sense of the basketball games of the ultimate goal of all the parties involved in the spectacle.
Jose back on stage presented to the group how does officiating look in USA. What types of camps there are: instructional, developmental, training/invitational, who is going to which camp and how to benefit from them the most.

Right after we had a closing ceremony, where a memory diploma was passed to all the campers and congratulations from all the instructors team. Compliments to the instructors who join OUR TEAM this year in Cluj and spend their private time on teaching you. Thank you for Bogdan and Amalia for hosting the camp in Cluj, and last thanks to all of you, passionate people without whom the camp wouldn’t make sense. Again the success of Kuba, who is every year working to prepare a camp for all of you.

As half the night you were not sleeping because of cutting clips, there was a special session for all who wanted to share interesting situations to discuss, so campers got the stage for themselves. And the all went to the last round of games!!
Today was nothing different from the games level, and so last game but still needed to be super focused. After the last game we gathered together in the main gym for the final feedback session. Your feedback. There was the time to share how was this past 4 days for you. And so we closed the session Cluj of the 13th REFEREE.PL camp.

This camp only exists because every year there is a group of people, who wants to be a better referee, who wants to invest in themselves, who wants to travel, sometimes from other continent, to get half a game officiated and listen to feedback from top class instructor. 4 days of hard work, and as you see throughout the history of REFEREE.PL dreams become goals and goals become true!!

PS. Our famous WhatsApp group will be closed in 1 day 🙂
Until the next time and happy birthday!!!

Second day is here.  Morning run today was to the gym, as group was practicing more of the mechanics and team exercised in the court. Again 3PO as to have very solid basis repeated for today’s games.

After breakfast we went into series of lectures with Mr Licina talking about what does it mean to be a referee, Costas working the clips, reminding us about the integrity: Must be always neutral, objective and act like judge! Johny added the team piece to close the picture fully in the head of our campers. He showed us multiple clips about the behavior of referees during the game that define us as referees, he touched the emotions. The room was quiet for some time. With this they all made us think on how we want to referee today… Also many other questions to answer moving forward as referees…

What kind of referee you want to be?

And again what we are working here on is CONSISTENCY!!

Self-consistency, crew consistency, next crew consistency.

At the end Sasa was showing more clips (his clips from Olympics 2012) to prepare you for some situations, so we could all work on the proper interpretation.

And so the games started.

Again very good level of games, very demanding, need to be ready. Many contacts, many difficult contacts. There were very good games to apply what we have learned.

Everybody was waiting for the feedback session, today it was short, and Kuba and instructors asked everyone to work on the videos, and also the videos from the glasses and to prepare the clips, as the evening we wouldn’t have time, the feedback will take probably all morning 🙂

See you tomorrow,
