And so we kicked off the first 24 hours of the first ever survival camp for basketball referees!
Everybody arrived to Jezierzyce safe and found the facilities. Not that they are hidden in the woods 🙂 The camp started with theoretical class about body language and criterias.

Volunteers of the UFFO Survival Camp 2017
There is no event that can run itself. Usually there is a team behind the organization and if we are lucky there are passionate people that love basketball and like to spend some time with helping events, stay close to the basketball, learn some interesting things in the meantime, and make new friendships.
Welcome the campers for the first UFFO Survival Camp 2017
The pilot survival camp in Poland is being done for the first time in a format that will be presented this year. Our participants will join in the same place and facilities the players camp GetBetter. This referees camp is special, as it will be very targeted on individual progress and therefore the planned group of campers is small, so everyone can get very special, individual attention while practicing with the instructors.
There will be 7 referees: Asimina from England, Veronika from Slovakia and Hande from Turkey and 4 gentlemen from Poland: Jan, Bartosz, Tomasz and Adam. Give a warm welcome to all of them, as there is a hard work ahead for the whole week!
Here is some of them sharing shortly some information about themselves:
