How to Prepare for Youth Basketball or Lower Level Games as a Referee 🏀

This is how I use publicly available statistics, usually from the federations, to gain insights into team dynamics, playing styles, and game flow. I walk you through a real-world example, analyzing a game between Helsinki YMCA and Puhu from #Finland, to demonstrate how I interpret various metrics such as average points per game, rebound statistics, and shooting percentages.

Wow, good stuff. And what's your advice when you don't have even a statistic from any youth game before the final tournament? You just have the final score, and maybe the scores for the quarters...what's then? Nothing, you go and see the teams warm up's before the game with a focus on each player if you can, beside that I've nothing from U13 up to U18.
