FIBA Asia Clinic For National Referees Indonesia


FIBA ASIA CLINIC FOR NATIONAL REFEREES
24 – 28 OCTOBER 2007
JAKARTA INDONESIA


Indonesia basketball is fast developing. To meet the increasing events and programmes in the competition field, there is an acute shortage of Referees. Indonesia Basketball Association (IBA) is very active and doing its best to improve the standard of basketball throughout the nation.

Since last year FIBA Asia has rendered technical assistant to promote and train more good referees of international standard. This year the clinic is held in Jakarta from 24 – 28 October 2007. It attracted 35 participants, including National Commissioners and Coaches apart from the Referees.

Congratulations to IBA for the well organized clinic which concluded in success. Keen interests saw the active participation of the attendees throughout the session. In general, the referees have good officiating skill with promising potentials. More hard work and officiating in high level competitions would eventually produce high caliber referees.

However, English seems to be the handicap face by most of the referees. Thus, IBA should encourage the usage of English Language for the National Referees who wish to become FIBA Referees. Hopefully, more quality referees would be enhanced in line with the development of basketball in Indonesia. The results of the evaluations of the national referees as attached for your reference.

“Peace Through Basketball”
