Does anybody have any hints or pointers for training new officials?
I'm the Training Officer for our board next season (
www.kwboa.ca) and was wondering if anybody had any pointers of what to cover in our meetings. I have lesson plans from previous years but was wondering if anybody else had other ideas of what to do.
I will be working with the first and second year officials, we meet every second week. We have a classroom and no gym to work in (so it will all be board work, discussions and small simulations). We do have a training/evaluation tournament early in the season to get them some floor work.
Has anybody had success or failure with a mentoring program for Junior (1st and 2nd year) Officials? What has worked what hasn't?
Thanks,
Christina
