for the FIBA Referee Instructor Programme (FRIP) leading to the FIBA Instructor Licence at Level 1 (National).

Home Study Book
It is divided into three sections (fields of expertise) each of which have a series of modules. The three sections are;
• Teaching & Learning – modules starting with a T (example T2 = module 2 in Teaching & Learning)
• Basketball knowledge – modules starting with a B
• Refereeing knowledge – modules starting with a R
Teaching and Learning (Level 1);

The section deals with topics such as teaching adults, developing interactive tutoring styles, using audio-visual aids and planning sessions. The most important
pre-requisite for this pack is an open mind and a willingness to analyse your own strengths and weaknesses as a potential FIBA Referee National Instructor
working with referees in the summer tournaments and National Federation clinics/camps.
Basketball – Referees (Level 1);

One of the targets for FIBA Referee Training Programmes is to improve the understanding of the game among the Referees.
The Basketball section gives a basic overview of the basketball with most common terminology, individual offensive/defensive skills and core team fundamentals of Offen-
sive and Defensive tactics and strategies.
Refereeing (Level 1)
This section gives an overview of basic refereeing covering Image of Basketball Referee, Individual Officiating Techniques (IOT) and basics for 3 Persons Officiating (3PO)
including some practical advices for training the referees (on & off court).
The Home Study Book is not part of the assessment and has been written in home study style, so that you can work through it in your own time and at your own pace. It is
interactive in nature, so you will need a pen and at least two hours to complete it (plus the time needed to prepare your session). Working through the pack will help you
prepare to lead sessions at the FIBA Referee Instructors Clinic and your own National Clinics.
