Pay dues, go to the initial meeting, go to state mandated meeting, take the exam, register in Arbiter, do scrimmages and get evals, wait for assignments.

Unfortunately, we had very few classroom sessions initially. However, we had/have a great many on-court sessions. We're supposed to have more classroom time this yr. Jury is out on that one.....

I don't believe in "assigning" mentors. After many yrs in the military, I believe a mentor is someone YOU choose because of their knowledge, demeanor, experience, etc., and someone you can talk to and get along with as a friend, confident. It is someone of YOUR choosing. I don't know that I'd want someone assigning me to someone I may not get along with, we have very little else in common, who is not a good teacher, listener, personable, etc.

We are evaluated during pre-season scrimmages by our training committee and they decide on what level we're assigned. IMO, it's been pretty fare. Pre-game, in game management, rules, appearance, communications, etc.
