The Community Awards are designed to recognise and celebrate the achievements of highly dedicated members of our sporting community in the past season.
Making our sport happen!
In our most recent newsletter, we highlighted some of the key ways that you can get involved in our sport as an Official or coach. Whether you’re brand new to the sport, or looking to level up, we have a variety of routes for you to take.
Earning your refereeing qualification
Our Referee Qualification is designed for those brand new to Officiating. The qualification is a blend of webinars, online learning and face to face sessions, and includes 1:1 mentoring support to help you get going once you have completed the qualification.
The cost of the course is £150, but we are able to support learners with costs where there is a need, particularly to support groups identified in the British Wheelchair Basketball Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan.

Referee Conversion Course
Our Referee Conversion Course is aimed at those who already hold a Refereeing Qualification from the running game, and who would like to be involved in Wheelchair Basketball.
The Referee Conversion Course is a blend of online learning and a one day face-to-face session. The cost of the course is £50, which includes your first year of membership with BWB. We currently have bursaries available to help with costs.

Table Officiating Courses
Table Officials are a critical part of the sport and we are always looking to welcome new individuals to the role. We currently have vouchers available to cover the cost of your online training as a Table Official or Statistician. The vouchers run through until the start of April, so ensure you claim yours today!

BWB Level 1 Assistant Coach Course
Our Level 1 Course is a great introduction to coaching and gives the learners the confidence to start their coaching journey in a supportive and fun environment.
We are looking to support a Level 1 Assistant Coaching Qualification in March 2026 in Buckinghamshire and have spaces available. The course is a blend of online learning and a one day face-to-face element.
BWB Level 2 Certificate in Coaching
Our Level 2 Course provides a more in depth look into the technical and tactical parts of the game, as well as supporting you continue to develop and hone your coaching style. The course is a blend of online learning and a two day face-to-face element that generally runs over one weekend.
We are looking to support a Level 2 Coaching Course in March 2026 in Manchester and have some spaces available.
