When I first started officiating, I thought I knew what I was doing. Then I went to camp. WOW! Talk about a wake-up call! I found out that I didn't know anything. It would certainly be better if a new official could go to a camp designed for new or inexperienced officials, but it's not a necessity. Camp directors and counselors understand that new officials have a lot to learn but I think that, overall, they will be very supportive.
That's my $ .02.
