1) How Many meetings do you hold with your members?

I belong to about 4 different basketball associations. All are different. Usually about 5 to 7 meetings and mostly weekly. One of them meets on Sundays only and might go a couple of weeks between meetings.

2) How is each meeting structured? You have a group meeting and then break out into smaller classes? What % of meeting time is done in group meeting vs Break out?

Depends on the year and the leadership. No set standard. Some used to do one session for newer officials and another might have done one for veterans. But again year to year this changes.

3) Is watching videos part of each meeting?

We try to do this more, but not for every topic.

4) How much time is dedicated to on court training?

Almost none during the pre-season meetings. There are enough camps during the summer that cover that kind of training.

Thanks for taking the time to answer....

You are welcome.

Peace
