(BBI) during his 8+ years as General Manager. Trevor implemented significant positive change and with the support of the Member Clubs and BBI Board, has built Brisbane Basketball into the benchmark Association in Queensland. 2020 was an unprecedented year that offered challenges like no other. As a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic BBI was forced to close its doors for an extended period of the year. This saw all competitions abandoned including the inaugural NBL1 North Season. BBI took this opportunity to refresh the stadium, with the support of sponsor Hopscotch Construction, the portal structure housing courts 1 and 2 was painted, as were all internal walls and the grandstand. When BBI was able to open its doors and recommence competitions, it was apparent that basketball was the vehicle for our community to find the sense of normality during this unprecedented time. Competition numbers bounced back almost immediately with only the school-based teams experiencing a drop. Our participation numbers across holiday camps and Mini Hoops set new records for participation rates and in particular female participation. BBI’s ability to reopen its doors and recommence basketball activities could not have happened without the support of the Member clubs and their committees – to you, thank you. To the BBI staff including biosecurity, referees, scorebench, canteen and all the gameday volunteers, thank you for your dedication during a turbulent time, the support provided to get the sport back up and running was amazing. To our Sponsors; Hudor, The Wesley and Hopscotch Construction, thank you for your continued support during the pandemic. You are more than sponsors you are our community partners and without you we wouldn’t be able to have the impact in the community that we do. Finally, without the support of the Federal, State and Local Governments our sport would look extremely different today. With the establishment of new grants and the JobKeeper program community sport was able to avoid what would have been a very dire outcome. In closing the Board would like to again recognise the contribution that the volunteers, clubs and staff. We are looking forward to a new year which will hopefully see a return to a “normal” sporting landscape. Tony Cotter Hamish Cain President General Manager Brisbane Basketball Inc.

Page 4 of 17 Brisbane Basketball Referee’s Association Report Brisbane Basketball Referees Association in partnership with Brisbane Basketball (BBI) is one we have built on trust and a partnership of working together to bring the best product for customers. Brisbane Referees have always followed the guidelines of Basketball Queensland to meet the demands of all competitions BBI has under their umbrella. For the past year we have focused on developing out Education Programs for all our referees. Our juniors must meet the standards and demands of our SQJBC programs. Our Social structure is the lifeblood of our programs, and our referees must at all times meet the schedule set by BBI. The GBL is the best domestic competition in the state and BBRA has always maintained a high standard of officiating when selecting crews to officiate this competition. This year our focus has been on referee education across the three levels of competition. Eliza Bennett and her team has developed our junior program with a good recruitment drive with many new referees joining our Saturday program. We have six Referee Supervisors on Saturday to guide our three programs. White shirt to green and then Green to Gray shirt to improve the performance of our juniors we recently conducted a Mentoring program for our top panel of juniors. We invited Ipswich and Toowoomba referees to participate in what we believe is a product that will
