SCBOA Camp Clinician 

Camp Clinicians:  Clinicians are at the core of the camp experience.  Below are the requirements and information for prospective camp clinicians:
  • 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.
Officials interested in serving as a SCBOA Camp Clinician are asked to fill out the application one time per three-year cycle.
The current application is for the 2025-2027 cycle.
