New Referees get the Thumbs Up!

Preparing for the start of the match

For the past 2 weeks on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the Kosrae State Gym the newest editions to the FSM refereeing ranks have been practicing their skills. Whilst undergoing the practical assessment of the FIBA Oceania Level 1 Referees Course a fully timed basketball match has been organised. The match has been open to all members of the Kosrae basketball community who wish to participate and so far it has been extremely successful.

Course Instructor Ryan Burns said that “the referees have been improving with each match they officiate. By holding these matches it not only allows the referees to practice in a positive environment but also allows for athletes to participate in a fully timed match.”

Kosrae Basketball Association (KBA) is planning on continuing the matches after the departure of Mr Ryan Burns next week.
