Information on how to develop skills for beginner basketball referees
The situation in our basketball is such that there are problems not only with the emergence of new competitive players and coaches, but also with referees. Our arbitrators are currently practically absent at the top world and continental championships.
I have heard questions more than once, and the site periodically receives requests about how to become a representative of this profession in Russia? Where to start, where to study, how to get practice, and then a license and appointments for serious matches and improve your skills? Today we will try to sort out these issues. Not everyone can become professional players and coaches, but wants to stay in basketball, so why not take the refereeing path.
First, let's decide on a license. It is issued for 1 year and is required only for servicing matches of the Russian Championship. To get it, you need to pass 3 exams:
1. Basketball Rules and Interpretations (at least 20 correct answers must be given for 25 questions). 2. Regulations of the championship and superiority of Russia. 3. Metronome physical fitness test.
Top judges, and there are about 120 of them, who regularly serve the championships of the Premier League, Super League (women and men), pass the rules twice a year, and physical training - the Metronome test 1 time. Those. if they take a regional seminar in the fall, they are admitted to the central seminar, and they take the same exams there. Those who successfully pass them receive a license for a year.
In January, a central off-season seminar is held, which highlights changes in the rules, corrects mistakes, sets some criteria and passes a theoretical exam only according to the rules and a running standard for physical training "Metronome" for field judges. If the current judge does not pass the winter exam, then he is not allowed to the second half of the season. Such cases happen.
Where to start? It is necessary, of course, to start with city competitions - first for children, then for students, for adults. In many regions there are Schools of the Young Arbiter, where classes are held free of charge. Novice judges go through a certain course and then, over time, begin to be attracted to the games of the children's championship of the city. After a person gains experience and practice, the referee committee of the regional federation recommends him to the championship of Russia, but there is also a selection system that allows children to referee competitions Championships of Russia. Further step by step, year after year on the way to the Super League, Premier League, VTB League. and FIBA.
Where to get knowledge? One of the sites that is suitable for obtaining up-to-date theoretical knowledge on basketball refereeing is ReferyPro. ru . This information portal contains the latest information on refereeing in Russia and the world. There are a lot of interesting and multifaceted things there: methodological materials, rules, video clips and recordings of seminars. The official representation of VKONTAKTE of this unique basketball portal for beginners, professional referees, as well as for all basketball fans is located at vk.com/referypro . The ReferyPro website was created by the School of Young Referees (SMA), headed by its leader - an international category referee and the head of the educational and methodological commission of the refereeing department of the RFB Fedor Borisovich Dmitriev with the support of the Moscow Regional Basketball Federation (MOFB).
In what regions are SMAs held? In addition to Moscow and the Moscow region - this is St. Petersburg, Samara, Pskov, Omsk, Izhevsk, Novosibirsk, Kaluga, Khabarovsk, Rostov, Krasnodar, Voronezh, Yekaterinburg and some other cities. In particular, in Moscow, free lessons are held on Tuesdays. In the Moscow region - on Tuesdays, Fridays at the Moscow Basketball Federation or at games. But all this is still functioning separately, there is no centralized and organized work yet. A number of European countries already have well-established training programs for judges, while we are only on the way to this.
What is our representation in Europe? Last year we had about 15 FIBA referees. This includes 12 FIBA referees from Russia. Two years ago, the Euroleague was served by three judges: Semen Ovinov, Ilya Putenko and Alexey Davydov. Then only Semyon remained, although he gets more Eurocup matches. In addition, FIBA has now changed the system. It has become similar to football - the national federation, by its rating, together with FIBA, determines the circle of referees who are worthy to work at FIBA matches. They must comply with the requirements of the European, national championship and have no violations.
What refereeing events are coming up? In the near future there will be a departure of young judges for a seminar in Sweden by a delegation of 12 people. It will be a ScaniaCup tournament. In May, the educational and methodological commission of the Department of Professional Refereeing, together with the Moscow Regional Basketball Federation, will hold two camps on the basis of the championship of the Moscow Region among boys and girls at the sports base in Pokrovsky. Judges will be invited from all regions of Russia, as well as from Belarus, maybe from Kazakhstan. This will be the 10th such camp in 4 years. In June-July, there will be a trip to the clinic of referees in the NBA or the NCAA. Fedor Dmitriev, together with one of our judges, will go to study and exchange experience with those who hold this event. This will be part of the work of the educational and methodological commission. This happened already in 2016. Plus, in June, at the invitation of the Basketball Federation of Kazakhstan, for the third time a large camp is planned in Astana to work mainly with young referees. There will be 4 days of workshop and 3 days of work on the site with feedback and video analysis of each judge.
Fedor Dmitriev shared about the work of the School of the Young Arbiter and his mission:
“Now it is most relevant and effective for me to work with young people - from 14 to 25-30 years old. To lead the continuity of generations and prepare young cadres in the right direction, who will be chosen by the federation to serve the matches of the National Championship. Recently, together with Evgeny Ostrovsky and Alexey Davydov, we successfully passed the exams for the FIBA national instructor. Therefore, we would like to pass on the knowledge we have gained to the next generations. As the chairman of the WMC and the head of the School of the Young Arbiter of the Moscow Region, I consider it my task not only to competently educate young people, but also to control the correct implementation. Now I am adjusting my training program in order to involve young guys more, so that they not only listen, but do it themselves under our control. This is the most basic thing at this time, and this is what FIBA is now demanding.
We try to set the required criteria so that they understand the difference between the mentalities of a Russian person and a European. After all, it is important not only to know the rules of refereeing, you need to correctly apply them. FIBA itself is constantly engaged in the training program for young referees, but we need to adapt their recommendations to our country in accordance with the requirements of European and international competitions.”
The best young judges from all regions of the country travel to Prifib clinics - seminars throughout the year. Now the Department of Professional Refereeing has developed a mentoring program, according to which 10 young referees from the TOP-50 best referees in Russia by rating are assigned mentors from among five current FIBA referees.
Each year, the educational and methodological commission prepares two manuals for various types of training of judges: psychological, physical, psycho-physiological; on communication and interaction; methodological recommendations and practical advice. 6 such manuals have already been issued. We get positive feedback from them. it is useful and we will move in that direction.
Another important task that faces us as teachers who should train referees is to develop and shape simple human qualities so that the referee, in addition to fixing fouls and violations, can understand basketball, the profession and the complexity of the work of the coach and players. In a word - be human! This is very relevant at the present time."

Vladimir Khlopikov – on issues related to refereeing aspects in basketball / Russian Basketball Federation
The Russian Basketball Federation receives numerous questions on various topics related to aspects of refereeing basketball competitions. Vladimir Khlopikov, head of the RBF Professional Refereeing Department, answered the most frequently encountered of them.
- How to become a basketball referee?
— First of all, you have to love basketball! I emphasize: love basketball as a sport, and not yourself in basketball.
Currently, there is an extensive structure involved in the organization and development of refereeing in Russia. In November 2015, the Department of Professional Refereeing was established in the RSE, which is entrusted with dealing with all issues related to refereeing. Including - to monitor the development of refereeing in the regions.
Direct training of judges, commissioners and table officials is carried out by Referee Committee of the RSE , which includes representatives from various federal districts of the Russian Federation. You should start your way in refereeing in the region of your residence. For your convenience, our official website contains a list of persons responsible for refereeing in the regions of the Russian Federation with their contact details. Contact them and they will tell you how you can start your refereeing career.
— At what age can one become a judge? What are the age limits?
— The learning process can be started at any age. With regard to direct participation as a judge in competitions, two options must be considered.
The first - without receiving a monetary reward. In this case, there are no age restrictions. The second - with the receipt of funds for the work performed (services rendered). In this case, it is necessary to be guided by the Labor and Civil legislation of the Russian Federation.
In competitions that take place in the regions, the organizing organizations set the age limits for judges on their own. In competitions held under the auspices of the RSE, in accordance with the Regulations, the age of judges must be at least 18 and not more than 50 years old as of September 1 of the current season.
— Are there any restrictions on gender, education, place of residence, citizenship?
— There are no restrictions on gender, education and place of residence. Regarding citizenship, one should also be guided by the Labor and Civil legislation of the Russian Federation.
— What qualities should a judge have?
— Ordinary positive universal values: such as honesty, adherence to principles, diligence.
At the same time, it is desirable to have basketball skills at any level - in order to better understand what is happening on the court already as a referee.
- Do I need to pass an exam to receive appointments? What is the procedure for obtaining a judicial license and appointments?
– First of all, I want to note that in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Sports in Russia, classification categories for sports judges have been established - from “junior sports judge” to “judge of the all-Russian category”. In order to receive a category, it is necessary to fulfill the established classification requirements.
In order to service competitions under the auspices of the RFB, it is necessary to obtain a "judge's passport". Obligatory conditions for obtaining it are passing a pre-season seminar and passing exams in physical fitness and knowledge of the Official Basketball Rules and Regulations. More detailed information is set out in document “Regulations on the admission of referees and commissioners to the RBF Competitions in the 2016/17 season.” .
As for appointments for games, the RSE operates Commission for the appointment of referees and commissioners , which is in charge of appointments for all games held under the auspices of the RSE.
— What are the duties of a referee on the court?
- It is the primary responsibility of the referee to conduct the game in strict accordance with Official Basketball Rules . Therefore, the referee must know the rules of basketball very well and skillfully apply this knowledge on the court.
— How often and where are the exams for judges? What is included in the test program?
— The Department of Professional Refereeing has established the following procedure for training and testing for referees:
1. Pre-season regional seminars for referees applying for servicing the games of the Children's and Youth Basketball League, the Russian Championship among teams of boys and girls and various regional competitions. They are held in each Federal District of the Russian Federation in the city determined by the Referee Committee of the RSE in August before the start of the season.
2. Pre-season central seminars for referees selected to serve the games of the Russian Championship. They are held in Moscow in September.
3. Intra-season seminars for referees working at Russian Championship games. Held in Moscow in January.
At all the above seminars referees take the following exams and tests: Metronome physical fitness test, body fat percentage test, FIBA Official Basketball Rules test, Regulations test.
More detailed information is set out in the Regulations on the admission of referees and commissioners to the RBF Competitions in the 2016/17 season.”
— How many attempts are given for the exams for judges?
— Only one attempt is allowed during the seminars. In case of failure at the pre-season seminars, the judge is given a one-time opportunity to retake not earlier than in a month. If a referee fails to pass any exam at an in-season seminar, he will be suspended for the remainder of the season.
— What is the ranking of judges on the site?
- There is no ranking of judges on the court as such. There is a senior referee, referee 1 and referee 2 on the court. All of them have equal rights during the game in accordance with the rules of basketball. The chief referee has a number of additional rights and obligations in accordance with Article 46 of the Official Basketball Rules.
— How do judges get appointments?
- For all games held under the auspices of the RSE, the appointment of referees is carried out by the RSE Commission for the appointment of referees and commissioners. Appointments for the various regional competitions are made by the authority authorized by the Regional Federation.
— What are the sanctions for referees who break the rules?
- Sanctions for judges are divided into two categories:
1. Sanctions imposed on judges for violation of the requirements of the Regulations. Detailed information can be found in Articles 80 and 81 of the Regulations. These sanctions are imposed by the RSE Directorate .
2. Sanctions for unskilled work as a court judge. These sanctions are imposed by the Disciplinary Commission of the RSE on the basis of the work carried out by the Review Commission of the RSE .
Referee penalties range from a warning to disqualification for various periods.

1. Control and coordination of the work of the brigade of table officials and statisticians.
2. Monitoring compliance with the requirements of the Official Basketball Rules and Regulations by all participants in the match and imposing sanctions in case of violations.
3. Assessing the objectivity and quality of refereeing by watching the video of the game and compiling the Commissioner's Report.
— How often and where are examinations for commissioners held? What is included in their program?
— Examinations for commissioners are held together with judges at the seminars mentioned above. Commissioners take two exams: for knowledge of the Official FIBA Basketball Rules and Regulations.
