All clubs within the Port Lincoln Basketball Association have unanimously agreed that all A Mens, B Mens, Womens and A Boys teams will be required to supply a referee each week.

This responsibility will primarily be assigned for the game either before or after your scheduled match. Games will be either the same grade or below, of the grade you are playing in. Scheduling will be provided soon.

Should your team fail to provide a referee for the scheduled match, your team will lose four (4) premiership points.

Before anyone expresses dissatisfaction regarding the teams or clubs they’ve been assigned to, I urge you to step back and consider the position we were in just four to five weeks ago.

At that time, we held an emergency meeting with club presidents, delegates, and the executive to discuss whether the season could even proceed. We were down to two courts, with uncertainty about whether Court 2 could be repaired/available in time. The conversation revolved around which grades might have to be cancelled … or whether we could run the season at all.

Despite those challenges, we’ve managed to proceed with the season, albeit with only two courts.

This has taken an extraordinary amount of effort and collaboration from every club. Let me remind you that while the intent-to-play form asked for your preferred club, it clearly stated that preferences were not guaranteed.

Are you a current player, parent or just someone who loves basketball who has thought about refereeing?

1. Level 0 Beginner Community Referee Course

2. Referee Rule & Interpretation Refresher

The Port Lincoln Basketball Association wants to thank Karena and the team at the Port Lincoln Hotel for sponsoring the cost of room hire to support this important training opportunity.

The association and clubs have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to get prepared for the 2025 season.

Due to the showcase court (court 1) not being available for use, we are going ahead with the season and just using two courts. This means that games will have to be played at 8pm each night, as well as a 9pm game on Mondays (A Mens).

We are finally able to announce the game times for each grade (link).

Due to an issue with the sub-floor under the court surface, we have been advised that Court 1 will not be available for use for the remainder of the season (with the exception of the 4pm timeslots on Monday and Thursday).

What does this mean?

The Port Lincoln Basketball Association, the Port Lincoln Council and the YMCA have agreed that for the last two minor rounds, games can be played at 8pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
We will be updating game times in Basketball Connect tonight (Sunday, 18th February), so please check your scheduled game time in case it has been changed.
