Referees

For both new referees and existing referees, if you have not already done so, you will need to register with ACBA as a referee here. Please ensure your information is correct. Once we have this information, we can send it on to the umpires in charge at your preferred venues.

You will also need to register with Basketball SA, if not already registered. For beginners, please do so after your first game as a small fee applies. We are classed as a social competition.

For all referees aged 14 and over, please ensure you have a WWC (register as a volunteer), as it is a requirement by law. It may take a few weeks to get the result of this back; once back, or if you already have one, please email through to [email protected] – you can start without this, but we will need it within 3 months.

Please visit this link to start the process.

Our fully qualified referees wear grey shirts, while learning our referees participate in the green shirt program. You can have a read through what this means here. Brand new referees who have not done a level O course need to wear white shirts, until they have done their course and are classed as trainees.

To purchase a green shirt, please email [email protected]. If you have been assessed and approved for a grey shirt, please purchase here. If unsure, please email [email protected].

We use Fox 40 Classic whistles for our competition; please order your whistle here if you do not already have one.

Please complete this form so we can pay you and return to [email protected].
