Basketball Statisticians
Use your love of basketball and data to take on a valued role courtside — with a nationally recognised accreditation and opportunities to earn money at Big V level.
Get InvolvedBecoming a Statistician
Being a Statistician is a great way to be involved in basketball outside of coaching, playing and refereeing — while learning and appreciating more about the game.
What's Involved?
There are no duties to perform outside the actual game and you do not need to provide any equipment. It's not a time-consuming position — just show up, do the job, and enjoy being right in the middle of the action.
Why Get Involved?
It's fun, you meet lots of people with similar interests, and it is an opportunity to earn money. Some events require statisticians voluntarily — which comes with the best seat in the stadium, sitting courtside.

AccreditationStatistician Levels
Statistician accreditation is structured across two levels. Your qualification is recognised across Australia, opening doors at competitions from local domestic through to Big V.
Entry Level — Getting Started
To become a statistician you must be 14 years or older and have a basic knowledge of basketball. Some experience with computers is also an advantage.
Prospective statisticians complete a Statistician's Course (approximately 2–3 hours) incorporating Level 1 accreditation and learning to use the Basketball Statistics Computer Program. After achieving your Level 1 and Computer Course accreditation and practising at a few games, you're ready to begin.
Your accreditation is recognised across Australia.
Advanced — Competition Ready
As a Level 2 accredited statistician you must be able to:
- Accurately call using the correct calling protocol
- Demonstrate consistency and accuracy in the use of the stats software
- Prepare and set up the statistics bench including computer hardware and software
- Reconcile statistics to the official scoresheet
To obtain Level 2 accreditation you must have held your Level 1 for a minimum of 12 months, successfully complete an online exam, and have a practical evaluation completed.
