CBOA District 5 is a member of SCBOA, located in the Columbia/Lexington (SC) area. Director: Richie Jeffcoat (rjeff22@gmail.com)
An annual SCBOA Camp hosted in conjunction with the University of South Carolina Girls Team Camp (Dawn Staley's Basketball Academy Team Camp) is held each year at the end of June/start of July as part of the efforts by SCBOA to help develop better officials as part of the official camp requirement. Campers are placed in crews of 2 or 3 based on experience level, receiving individual (or crew) feedback during/after each game. Campers assigned to a 2-man crew worked half-games while working on the court at all times with our "New Officials" clinician group, helping develop the next generation of SCBOA officials.

About Camp:
Since 2016, the SC Basketball Officials Association has provided classroom and on-court instruction to hundreds of officials who have wanted to improve and grow in their officiating. Camp teaches officiating principles and philosophies that apply at any level. Camp clinicians are accomplished officials and highly effective instructors who are committed to helping campers improve, selected each year from applicants from within the SCBOA. Each year, CBOA (District 5) tries to host a SCBOA affiliated camp in conjunction with the University of South Carolina's Team Camp (Dawn Staley's Basketball Academy Team Camp) which provides excellent opportunities to those wishing to improve their high school rating and schedule.
Requirements/Effect on Rating:
SCBOA members are required to attend camp every three-year cycle in order to maintain maximum points on their annual rating score. An official may attend at any point in that three-year cycle to receive those points. The current three-year cycle is 2025 to 2027, meaning that an official must attend once in that three year period to be eligible for their rating points. District directors maintain a record of all officials that have attended camp during any given cycle, and officials may attend camp as many times as they would like. There are often limits to the number of officials that can attend each camp, so it is advisable to register as early as possible.
