EUG2018 clinic for 3x3 Basketball referees

European Universities Games (EUG2018) promoted a clinic for 3x3 Basketball referees in mid May with a FIBA trainer Ms Jasmina Juras and EUSA Technical Delegate Mr Ilan Kowalsky. This is the first ever clinic to happen in Portugal in 3x3 Basketball and assures qualification of referees for the EUG2018.

The event was promoted in association with the Portuguese Basketball Federation and Coimbra's Basketball Association.

Trainings with Ms Juras

The clinic started on Saturday, May 12, with the theoretical classes which allowed all 19 participants to know the rules of the game and the judgement criteria in the sport. On Sunday, the practical lesson took place during the local tournament for EUG2018 qualification, where the participants could train their skills in real live competition.

Competition

Ms Juras, FIBA trainer, did a positive balance of the clinic: "It's a very good initiative because this sport is taking its first steps in Portugal and so is important to ear the good referees. So it was good to learn and they worked hard and show improvement during the competition so they will be very helpful to the success of the competition and can work at a higher level in the future in other sports events."

Qualified teams with Mr Kowalsky

The European Universities Games Coimbra 2018 will host sports competitions in 13 sports, including 3x3 Basketball, and also feature educational, cultural and social programme between July 15 and 28. For more information, please see www.eug2018.com.
