Introducing the ROC Framework: Empowering Grassroots Basketball

The ROC Framework, short for Referees, Table Officials & Coaches framework, is a comprehensive initiative developed by the London Basketball Association (LBA) and AllOfficials. It aims to support the development of grassroots basketball officials, coaches, and personnel across the country. By implementing this framework, basketball clubs and sporting organisations can provide their staff and members with the necessary resources to enhance their skills and contribute to the growth of the sport. This article outlines the key objectives, steps, and benefits of the ROC framework.Objectives:

How does the ROC Framework work?

The ROC framework provides a clear path for organisations to implement a structure allowing them to naturally support their members and the wider community to become confident and competent ROCs. To give some insights, participation in practices and scrimmages is encouraged for the practical execution of the framework, supporting the session while taking on different facets, which has benefits like becoming a smart/better player, knowing how to deal with officials, as once you do the role you have a new profound respect for them, you can support your community, get paid too! These roles are not limited to ROC roles but consider admin and social media too.
