BE A TABLE OFFICIAL

We support table officials at all levels of the table officiating pathway – whether just starting out or wanting to progress to table officiate at national and international level.

For a game of basketball to take place there needs to be either two, three or four table officials. Table officials are located near the sideline at the centre of the court and are responsible for keeping control of the game clock, shot clock, points scored, fouls committed and much more. They work together with the referees and the statisticians to ensure the fairness and accuracy of the game.

It is a great way to make new friends, challenge yourself and be involved in the sport you love!
