Ainoa Martín, the Dianense player who hung up her boots to catch the whistle

12 December 2018 - 11: 21

The Dianense Ainoa Martín Vilar, at her 21 years, chose to hang up the basketball boots to catch the whistle, after passing by table assistant. In this way a brilliant and promising basketball player, who came to play the Junior Spanish Championship in Guadalajara with her teammates of the 97 generation of Dénia Básquet, and with Álex Almela as coach, she has become the first woman born in Dénia to be a basketball referee.

Ainoa lives linked to the sport of the basket. After three years in the senior team and collaborating as assistant in different teams of the Dianense club, he made his first foray into the refereeing world by passing the table officer courses and starting to play that role in matches official

This past summer she decided to close her stage as an active player and take this courageous step forward to the federation courses, becoming the first woman in our city to act as referee in competitions organized by the Basketball Federation of the Valencian Community.

Along with Dianense, in the province of Alicante there are five other women who carry out the work of arbitrating federated parties, highlighting that three of them are from the region of the Marina Alta. Clara Más, from Ondara, who is the most experienced, having already had three seasons of experience, and Laura Caselles, from Xabia, who also debuts this campaign in this function.

I hope they are a great example for many other girls and it is increasingly common to find women in a function called as in all areas of our society to reach equality in order to contribute to the growth of this magnificent sport.
