10 Week Course
Welcome to the group! We have a very similar 10 week course. Three and a half hours once a week, half in class half on court. This is followed by the written test and then a floor evaluation. You then get to spend two years as a JV official getting rated each game before testing and upgrading to Provisional Varsity. As a PV you spend two more seasons getting ratings by Varsity Raters in order to become a Varsity Official. I've being doing this for 16 years and got elected as co-chairperson for our organization this past spring. It's been a ball and I'm sure you will love it. Regarding calling your partner, definitely make the call. Some groups use the Z calls A or A calls Z philosophy. We tell our officials to call each other at least two days before a contest. You'll be surprised how many times a call helps as a reminder if not for the date but for a time, especially if there has been a time change or a reschedule of the contest. Good luck.
