About SCBOA Camp: 

​Since 2016, the SC Basketball Officials Association has provided classroom and on-court instruction to hundreds of officials who have wanted to improve and grow in their officiating. The camp teaches and reinforces officiating principles and philosophies that apply at any level. Camp clinicians are accomplished officials and highly effective instructors who are committed to helping campers improve. The SCBOA provides excellent opportunities to those wishing to improve their high school rating and schedule. Many past participants made significant advances in their officiating after attending camp. Camps can accommodate approximately 200-250 campers per summer. Campers are permitted to attend as frequently as desired, although SCBOA members would have to go once every three-year cycle in order to keep his/her maximum points. For more details about the camp points system, please see the next section "Camp Points Overview" or scroll down for the Frequently Asked Questions section. ​The current SCBOA Camp cycle is 2025-2027.

Camp Points Overview
Camp points are part of the rating system, found in the 20 points awarded for Attendance at Clinics, Examination, and Trainings. For more information about the SCBOA Rating Score, please CLICK HERE.

It is important to know that the 5 points for SCBOA camp are automatically added to an official's rating score, and will only be deducted on the final year of a three-year cycle (and any subsequent years until SCBOA camp is attended) if the official does not attend a SCBOA-approved camp. For example, if an official attended camp in 2024 (part of the 2022-2024 cycle) they will have maintained their 5 points for the 2025-2027 cycle and will only have 5 points deducted in 2028 (and beyond) if they do not attend camp at least once during the 2025-2027 cycle.  This official will continue to have their 5 points deducted each year until they attend a SCBOA-approved camp. The purpose of this is to encourage officials to attend camp consistently and to provide officials with high quality feedback that will improve their officiating craft. There is no limit to the number of times an official may attend a SCBOA-approved camp.

SCBOA Camp Three-Year Cycles

SCBOA Camp Cycles
The SCBOA Camp utilizes a three-year cycle (triannual) system that requires officials to attend a SCBOA-approved camp at least one time every three-years. Failure to do so will lead to a 5-point deduction from that official's rating score, which will continue to be deducted until they attend. It is important to note that an official must only attend a SCBOA-approved camp once in any three year cycle, though it does not matter if you attend in Year 1, Year 2, or Year 3 of any given cycle. Listed below are each of the three year cycles since the inception of the SCBOA camp system in 2016.

Cycle 1 - 2016, 2017, 2018
Cycle 2 - 2019, 2020, 2021
Cycle 3 - 2022, 2023, 2024
Cycle 4 - 2025, 2026, 2027 (Current Cycle)
Cycle 5 - 2028, 2029, 2030

Future cycles have not been confirmed, but will be added as they are confirmed and approved by SCBOA leadership.

SCBOA Camp Clinician 

Camp Clinicians:  Clinicians are at the core of camp experience.  Below are their requirements and info. Camp clinicians need only to apply one time during a cycle and applications will open on March 1 of each year.
  • A Teacher's Heart:  SCBOA Clinicians must be gifted at teaching and relaying their experiences, skills and knowledge to campers.
  • A Rules  and Mechanics Expert:  SCBOA Clinicians MUST be NFHS rules and mechanics experts which means we teach high school rules and high school mechanics by the book. We do not allow our clinicians to discuss pet peeves, alterations to the rules, or what they "like to do".  It is important that South Carolina basketball officials are on the same page and it's crucial that we all learn the same way.
  • A Fair Observer: Since camp is a key component to the SCBOA Rating Score, we require that all clinicians utilize the same evaluation rubric and relevant documents throughout the state.

Frequently Asked Questions

Picture
How is SCBOA camp structured?
  • SCBOA Camps are held in conjunction with team camps hosted by universities (such as the University of South Carolina, Wofford College, or Coastal Carolina) and high schools (Greenville Senior High School), showcase organizations (such as Phenom Hoops), or the South Carolina High School League.  These camps will host high school boys and girls team camps, and the camps will be officiated by the campers. 
  • Camp schedules are determined by the dates/times of the individual camps and are subject to change. Most camps typically run for two days (but may run more than two days), some with classroom instruction the day before the official start of the games of the camp.  Officials can expect to work games on all days of the camp. It is important to check the dates of the camp to ensure participation/attendance throughout the entire duration of the camp.
  • NFHS three-person officiating mechanics are taught and used exclusively throughout our camps, unless otherwise noted.  Some camps include JV level games, which may allow for a small number of two-person officiating mechanic courts for new and inexperienced officials. If you have questions about the structure of the camp, please email the listed camp contact.
  • Clinicians supervise and provide feedback to officials during all games.  Clinicians are committed to helping every camper's officiating skills.  There is often a 2:1 ratio of clinicians to courts, to allow for timely feedback for each official.  Clinicians are selected each year using an application process that includes years of experience, written responses, and familiarity with the NFHS Rulebook.  If interested in applying to be a clinician, please see the Clinician Guidelines and Clinician Application linked in the section above.
  • Officials will have at least one game recorded. The video will be used for on-site review with a clinician. The games can be accessible online for future reference.
  • These camps are certified by the South Carolina High School League (SCHSL). South Carolina officials will earn 5 points in their rating score. Camps that are not listed in the above list of approved SCBOA camps will NOT be considered for an official's camp obligation. ​

Are accommodations provided for campers?
Most likely not.  Campers must find their own accommodations or may commute daily.  For recommendations for accommodations, please email the listed camp contact.  Please note that camps typically start in the morning and end in the evening each day.  Accommodations cannot be made for officials that are within commuting distance if the camp does provide accommodations. The camp details, found above, will include a note if there are any accommodations available.


What can I expect from camp?
A variety of teaching techniques will be used; from classroom/lecture, on-court verbal and written communication, as well as video recording and review. Expect to learn and be constructively criticized. After camp, you'll receive any written documentation on SCBOA forms and/or electronic media in addition to access to video from game(s) that were recorded.


What should I bring to camp?
  • SCBOA referee uniform shirt
  • Black athletic shorts
  • Whistle and lanyard
  • Snacks, water, change of clothes, etc - While snacks and water are provided by the camps, it may be the case that food and drinks are in a location that is not easily accessible at all times.

What is provided at camp?
  • Feedback from clinicians; verbal and written. Written feedback is often returned after the conclusion of the camp.
  • Online access to recorded game via a streaming video or storage service.
  • Meals, snacks and drinks are provided throughout camp.
  • An opportunity to work with a wide variety of partners, possibly from different areas of the state.
  • An opportunity to improve your craft, learn from a variety of clinicians, and receive feedback in verbal and written form. 

How much does it cost and how do I register?
  • The cost of the SCBOA camp is $75 and payment is required at the time of registration. Each year, on May 1, the online registration and payment process opens for campers via scboa.net. This registration can also be found by clicking the button on the top and bottom of this page. ​
  • Call 803.798.0120 or email Sarah Hayes ([email protected]) with camp questions.
  • Each camp can only accept a limited number of campers therefore registering early is advised, as camps might fill and may not guarantee your slot. ​
