Introduction
The National Officials Certification Program is a cooperative effort between Canada Basketball and the Canadian Association of Basketball Officials. In 2007 a steering committee was organized to put together the framework and curriculum for this program. The purpose is to assist in the education and development of officials. The program consists of 5 levels, 3 of which are administered by the Provincial Association, 1 by CABO and 1 by FIBA. Certification is not a requirement to officiate. However, CABO and Canada Basketball strongly encourage all officials to become certified.
The essence of the program is contained in the core outcomes in each of the first four levels:
➢ Rule Knowledge
➢ Floor Mechanics
➢ Game Management
➢ Court Presence
Level 5 is a FIBA carded official and qualifications are determined by FIBA.
