I'm also in Washington. There is no classroom requirement in this state, but like Ron, we have several pre-season orientation sessions for our new officials that include classroom and floor work (including getting some young teams to come in for actual scrimmages). At each of our general meetings during the year, we require our new officials to come one-hour early for "on the floor" mechanics and game scenario training (we're lucky in that the building we meet in has a small gym). Two of the six officials that we sent to the various level state tourneys last year got chosen for the championship game.. and as soon as Ron Pilo comes to his senses and heads north about 30 miles, we'll be an even stronger association. :-)
