ICSL Assist

Beyond the Game

Every whistle is a paycheque. Every appointment, a pathway.

ICSL Assist NPC pays young Johannesburg match officials to work Inner City Super League fixtures — and builds them a certified route to international accreditation with FIBA and the IWBF.

The Officials Programme

Referees, table officials and statisticians — trained, appointed, and paid

Every ICSL and Junior Classic Schools fixture runs on the same three roles: referees, table officials and statisticians. ICSL Assist NPC registers, trains and pays them — turning match-day appointments into a genuine, youth-led income stream rather than volunteer hours.

All technical training runs under Basketball South Africa’s national curriculum, so an official’s very first course is already built to the standard FIBA and the IWBF expect further down the pathway.

The Pathway

From first whistle to FIBA license

Run jointly with Basketball South Africa, the pathway tracks every discipline against one time-bound goal: join under 25, reach international accreditation by 30.

The goal is time-bound, not aspirational: officials who join under 25 are deliberately fast-tracked toward international accreditation by age 30.

Working Proof

Two officials, two federations

Built For Partnership

Evidence-backed impact, not a pitch deck

For CSI partners, funders and B-BBEE verification agencies, the Officials Programme comes with the underlying beneficiary and payment data behind it.

ICSL Assist

Every match needs an official.
Every official deserves a pathway.
