I'd love to say that I was the one who trained Ocreferee. I just dealt with all the fun situations he created. I will agree with whistleone. Being an IM director, it is a good place to start. We don't do anything exceptional in our training but I can tell you that we do quite a bit more than the local association. Indiana is a take test and your good state. I currently have 8 officials who are licened with the state. They get a good number of games at local middle school because I officiate and the AD's know that we have a pool to pull from. I will agree with everyone else, where ever you start at, make sure that it is organized well and that you have someone working with you. Past that, have fun and don't take the things participants say personally.
