Referees

Referees are such an important part of the game as the game cannot take place without them so we are constantly developing new referees for all levels of the game within our region as well as for Basketball New Zealand tournaments.
If you would like to become a referee and we have no upcoing course please register your interest by emailing admin@franklinbasketball.org.nz
Our process for new referees is:
- Take part in a Kiwi Hoops or Community Referee Course
- One term of training in our Primary/Intermediate leagues
- Achieve Level 1 Criteria in order to be renumerated
